The surge didn't happen, the water in our channel to the Gulf is receding, my first-floor neighbors are rejoicing, the sun is shining...."God is in his heaven, and all's well with the world..."(a little Robert Browning there) !

FWIW, we had a line of thunderstorms move through southeast Minnesota and Western Wisconsin yesterday that produced very similar results. However, that storm covered a larger area.

Hurricanes get big media coverage, but there are lots of equally damaging storms inland. I think people are drawn to hurricanes because they can track them for days and watch their progress (and place bets with the neighbors). Of course, the hurricanes also produce a storm surge that our storms lack.
