It was a little puffer that tried its best to be a hurricane, but just missed it.
Those pics- "little" Washington, as it's called, is on the nuese River right before it dumps into the pamlico sound... by boat you can get from Washington to the outer banks in an hour and a half... it does get some tides even being that far from the ocean.
Not much to report here... winds blew, rain fell, everything is wet. There are maybe half a dozen trees down total in my lil neighborhood- during Florence, as reference, there was that in just my yard. Most the "damage" was because lack of prep- such as boats left on lifts and collapsing, or the likes. And that, only because this one snuck up on us.
I hear there is another one playing around PR right now?
I suppose living in this area isn't much different than living in tornado alley.... its only a threat when it is.
