Tropical Storm Claudette

[Lake View Too]

7:07am: Moderate rain, gusting to about 15 to 20. Lots of leaves down. It was a fairly brisk tropical storm. Can't wait to turn on the TV and hear non-stop about the other ones coming...(yawn...) I guess I get to sleep in.

Cantore at St. George Island: "it's all good".

Sand added to dunes.

The power went out around 12:45, but not for long. Biggest excitement was the phone ringing - the actors up the street needing flashlights and candles. Guess their tropical storm party went later than ours!

It looks like a wet day today. 3 1/2 inches in the rain gauge this morning.

What's it like today? Any morning-after news of note?

Hit here in SD at around 11pm - big wind gusts, pine cones flying into walls and bouncing off the roof, and big waves of rain. The area was a-buzz'n for a few hours. The house pets were all very alert and jumping around checking things out, looking for the critters making all that noise. (Which kept me up past 1. ) All seems ok this am though. Lets hope that's the last of storm of the year!

Unfortunately, all the plastic toys in my yard are STILL in my yard.

Lots of rain, but no real evidence of big wind at my house...except an overturned beer can.

Looks like it's just going to hang around over us and rain, and rain, and rain. I need one good break today so I can take the girls out and run them up the road a time or two...all their energy INSIDE the house is a recipe for disaster.
Hope everyone is safe today!

It is still quite overcast. At 8:17 a.m. CST just some sprinkles, but there is a lot of rain sitting off the coast. Will be curious how much of it comes in here along South Walton or drifts west toward Ft. Walton Beach and Pensacola. The big difference is the surf is up. Eastern Lake is up quite a bit, lots of salt water came in last night along with the rain. Will be curious what the "Surge" was. Probably not much, but enough to add depth to the entire lake. The outfall made some changes and continues to drift westward in its natural path. Wave action is still heavy. Fence along outfall continues to erode into the lake and be a hazard that someone has to dig out after every opening and certainly after every storm.

why is the fence there? (sorry if this has been discussed before...)

At my house, the wind whipped around a little bit last night and a light rain fell. Ground is wet, but all the limbs are still on the trees. Nothing to see here. Keep the line moving.
