We’re south of Boston about 3 miles from the ocean. The wind gusts are getting pretty strong but not too much rain. Drove over to the harbor this morning and the water was up into the parking lot. Plenty of flooded streets along the ocean.
We were amazed to see how many expensive pleasure boats were still on slips and plenty of commercial boats on moorings. They’ve evacuated most of the homes along the oceanfront but there are always people who refuse to leave. After seeing the size of the waves i would be out in a minute.
People are complete idiots about water.
They just don’t realize that water is virtually incompressible and how much it weighs and what getting pounded by walls of water can do to something.
There is precious little that can stand up to the force of storm surge, waves, and a high tide.
