After two days of almost solid rain we had a break today. Widely scattered showers today and we actually got some sun. There have been flood warnings out that expire on Monday, so we decided to walk into town to check out the water levels at high tide. It seemed like the water was a little higher than a super moon high tide, but nothing catastrophic.
ICW at the marina. Usually high tide is below the sign and the grassy part to the right is a land mass:
The rack storage loading area, almost breached. The water is never this high:
Along the city docks…never this high normally:
The yacht basin waterfront. All of the restaurants were closed:
Looking back at American Fish Company (Ivans in the movie Safe Haven). The water was up to the deck…never seen it this high:
This is likely to get worse as the next 2 days are going to be pretty much solid rain. Wind is starting to pick up but we are not expecting more than 40 knots. Looking forward to Tuesday!
