PH/STORM PREP -- 8/26/11 -- North Beach, MD, Photo by Ray K. Saunders/TWP -- Joanna Jacob spray paints a message to Hurricane Irene on the plywood covering the windows and doors of her North Beach, Md, home on Friday, Aug. 26, 2011. 'I hung a cross in there,' said Jacob, gesturing to the house. 'I've been praying in front of it.' An original beach house in this small town on the Chesapeake Bay, Jacob's house was built in 1912 and has been in her family since 1945. The house has made it through many hurricanes, most recently Isabel, which destroyed much of the North Beach waterfront.
