It was a crazy night, we were evacuated around 7:30 to the convention centre. We walked through a foot or two of water, climbed over downed trees and fences to get there. We waited there for a couple of hours and left when waves started spraying up on the second story windows. We then waded through 2-3 feet of water and more downed trees to hide out in the second story of the marina. As the tide started going down the winds subsided some and around 3:30 we headed back to the boat. The docks were all seized and we had to climb around some of the cross braces. The boat made out ok and we grabbed a couple hours sleep. This morning we surveyed the carnage and counted ourselves lucky to have made out ok. Waiting now for the next high tide and tail end of storm, but expect the worst is over. We are very thankful we chose this marina and the dock we are at.
Every other marina, except one, around here is gone, I mean all docks and boats are on shore or sunk. |
| This boat broke its stern mooring away at noon today |
Notice the dock floats
North end of Marina did not make out as well, boats sunk
This is where the gas dock and used to be
Thank god for those cross braces, that is kept our dock from going over the pilons
This is 4 boats down, horizontal cross brace held the dock from floating away
