Advisories Posted

Mornin'!  It's 61° in Wildwood.  Whew is all I can say.  All the weather forecasts are saying a Coastal Flood and Wind advisory is still in effect.  My photos are of a house that was consumed by this Nor'easter yesterday.  I've been living here for awhile now (over 11 years) but this will be the first for living through the most relentless Nor'easter.  This bad boy just won't check out.  It won't give us a little bit of a break as howling, freight train gusts of winds are bound and determined to make life challenging. It's currently cloudy and windy (E-NE 35-46mph sustained winds).
It does appear we missed the bullet again as far as I can tell...no wind or water damage (assessments are tough while being blasted as wind damage usually shows itself later).  Our vehicles are still blocks away on higher ground (hope they're ok) and we have no flood water in the house or shed.  But, those waters breached the bulkheads (¼ block away) and headed to my front steps yesterday afternoon in break-neck speed.  Scary.  Actually the scariest was the Skunk that was drowning under my shed as the yard filled with 3+inches of water (it eventually released itself and swam away).  Anyway...this Nor'easter isn't going anywhere anytime soon.  It'll be cloudy and windy today with temps in the mid-upper 60s.  Winds will continue to pound us from the E-NE at 28-35mph with 50+gusts right into tonight.   Expect off and on showers today as well (70% chance).  Tonight...more rain showers (50% chance) and temps in the low 60s with those 50+mph gusts whooping it up some more.  I'm hearing that Hurricane Joaquin is no longer a threat to our coast (praise the Lord) but could effect our wave and tide action from it's location by tomorrow and/or Monday. You can bet the Surfers are drooling.
