If the "Frankenstorm" turns west at the Chesapeake Bay, storm surges would rise.
Residents along the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland are hoping the Frankenstorm starts its trick-or-treating to the east—and stays there.

But if the storm stays to the east—as projection models early Saturday are beginning to favor—the Bay communities could be spared, while ocean-front communities along the East Coast could be hammered. » Follow Maryland Patch on Facebook for constant statewide updates on the Frankenstorm. In many early models, Havre de Grace would be under the eye of the storm at some point or another. "It looks right now …

Despite the wind and rain preceeding the arrival of Hurricane Irene's nasty center, Ann Marie DeSimone and Archie Vann Bassett were determined to stick to their year-long plan of an Aug. 27 wedding. And that's just what they did in Parkville on Saturday when the happy couple said "I do" in St. Ursula's Catholic church outside Baltimore.

After a bevy of photos were taken, the newlyweds were heading over to their 5 p.m. reception at the Sheraton Baltimore North Hotel in Towson. They were not about to cancel the party.
