"Not A Tropical Storm" Kicking Our Butt

Well, "Nicole" ceased to officially be a tropical storm yesterday, but I think that makes little practical difference. We've been getting pounded with 50+ mph winds and walls of rain for at least the last 4 hours.

The water line usually averages about 30 yards or so from the bottom of our steps down to the beach. Right now the waves are topping about 5' from the bottom step - and high tide isn't for another 2 to 3 hours. Interesting!

What'll be REALLY interesting is scouring the beach after the tide goes back out this afternoon. All kinds of stuff will be getting churned and spit up on the beach.

More later...
