Went over to Chincoteague to check on out of town friends’ places. Lots of water, downed branches, but the major crisis appears to be the fact that most of the stores are closed and those that are open are all out of beer.

We were heroes to a couple friends because we anticipated such a problem and had a cooler full in the back of the pickup!

Hubby is no hero to me though, he conveniently left water wading footwear at home, so I was the one slogging through ankle deep marsh water around one place........he’ll pay!

All kidding aside, all places we checked out were just fine, even with the high water.

How high was the actual water surge there on Chincoteague? The NOAA surge model said about 3’ expected when I ran it.
