High winds and high waters
Just a little wind and rain, as seen on the forecast channel. Down by the waterside, a whole different view.
Down East just made it through a couple of days of windy weather. Coupled with a high tide series (that eclipse was not the cause, nor the effect) and the old rules about where the waters would go were broken. I’ve been checking out the various video clips and webcams; interesting times in the Maritimes.
The range light at Beach Point (a minor star in the coastline firmament) moved. Not inches, not feet; yards and yards. Take that, metricians. The picture on the web was taken from a long way off (to better show the scale), but I’d like to be down on the beach, checking out the marks of a mobile light.
Another shot from wharfside in Naufrage demonstrates the push of a surge; the run was full of water, and the peak was above the edge of the sea walls. Not a place to be with your rowboat, in passing. In fact, all up and down the Island, and apparently over in New Brunswick, the waters came ashore. Remember, this isn’t a newly constructed area. Some of the wharves and roads have been there for nigh on a century or more, but this time around the waters looked oversize. We’re going to see more of this.
Locally, nothing. As if we lived in a different part of the universe. Things can change quickly, so I will avoid complacency. The winter started yesterday.
