This is what it looked like around here at noon. The storm had hit an hour earlier, right at the first high tide. Not showing any signs of abating. So far, the winds are gusting at only 60 mph. They were predicting 70-80.
The rain is supposed to stop sometime late tomorrow. The winds and tides will be problematic til Monday.
The good news is we get a 1 day reprieve before the next one hits!
Lots of trees down so far. Many roads closed due to flooding - lots of our roads wind thru marshes. Pretty but prone to flooding. Scattered power outages from downed trees. Police and rescue sirens have been non stop for a few hours now.
Temps are dropping but still above freezing so far. Snow on top of this would just be nasty.
Wondering how things are in Ptown. They are at and in some places below sea level. The water was up to the top of the docks yesterday. Presuming the streets have turned into rivers again.
Corky, I dont know about fire ants. They are in Florida yes? Maybe forget the sun and palm trees. I'm now thinking Iceland - moderate temps year around. Not thrilled with the months of darkness and the months without darkness but also not prone to weird ass weather like we are.
Seriously, way too old for this crap.
