Coastal Flood Warning
A big low pressure system moved south of us and generated strong storms today. It pumped lots of water into the Bay and the high winds blew it over to the Western shore where we live. At almost 11:00 PM we have about a 3.5 ft surge. That's the second highest tide we've had since we've been here, the first being during tropical storm Ernesto. I'm still somewhat concerned because it's actually the lunar low tide right now with high predicted about 4:00 AM. If the wind continues, we could still get another 6 inches or more. I don't think that's enough to get into the house. Unlike during Ernesto, I don't plan to stay up tonight minding sandbags! The pictures are of Dianne's car in our driveway, and the street in front of our house taken with my cell phone camera in the truck headlights. -S

I hope you folks are okay. Where in the area do you live? My wife and I are moving to Annapolis in the next couple of months. Yikes!! Leaving the Hurricanes of Florida for the Floods of the Bay.

It's usually not so bad, Jim. Our yard is only about 2 feet over the usual high tide level, so we're prone to flooding and expect it somewhat. We're about 5 miles Northeast of downtown Annapolis in the Arnold community.
