Storm update

Em and I just took a recon trip to the west side to see what's going on over there. The police roadblock is gone and all the roads are open. There is washover on much of the road down there, but nothing that you couldn't drive through with a pickup. We made it about 2 miles past our house. There is no water under the house and the berm around the back of the house is fine.

The surf has picked up and the waves are bashing the beach pretty good. Kind of awesome. You know how sometimes God has a way of reminding us how small we are? Kinda like that.

It has been raining steadily for several hours now...probably since 10 or so. It's 2 o'clock now. Our plan is just to stay in this house for the night and re-evaluate in the morning. That decision is based equally upon respect for the storm and the fact that no one wants to pack up again right now.

Here's the surf behind the house on the west side. By the way, there are two surfers out there.

More later.......Jim
