This entry is being done without Internet connection, so will be posted after the fact. We lost Internet connectivity, I think around 11 AM. Power went off, but resumed after three minutes or so. The lights have been flickering all day. Emptied the rain gauge at 3PM, 5.25 inches. It is now 6:10 PM and it shows 2.75 inches, for a total of 8.0.
Boy, was I wrong (in post #4) about the worst being over. Not long after we lost connectivity, the winds began howling through here, and the rain came down in buckets. Even though high tide was at about 11AM, the water has continued to rise.
The dock has sustained some damage that I could see before it was completely inundated, as it is now.
Water is spilling onto the roadway. This, by the way, is the road that I mentioned in an earlier post that simply ends in Whitehouse Creek.
The water has completely covered the beach, and is lapping the boardwalk itself. No sign of the beach!
As of six PM, we are still (supposedly) awaiting the worst, which should occur around nine. Overall, so far, we’ve not sustained any significant damage. The wind direction, coming out of the NE, means that Broad Reach has been sheltered from the worst of it.
I hope to post this tomorrow sometime.
Does the road end in White House Creek, or does White House Creek end in the road. IMWTK
