The tropical storm raced up Chesapeake bay or on the edge of it. I guess it started around 5am and was done by about 1pm. Modest amount of uprooted trees, broken limbs on the road for a storm that moved through so quickly. I would guess we got close to a 3' tidal surge in Crisfield, MD.
Some pics from today:
The top of the floating dock isn't supposed to be higher than the land.
Still have another 4' on the pilings before life gets interesting. The bow line on the pilings is normally close to the cap rail on my boat.
The fixed piers are under water. The marina is experimenting with a new concept, floating power pedestals. Power was turned off to the docks yesterday at 4pm.
A spiderweb of dock lines (14) kept Slow Hand safe. Pays to prepare for the worst.
