It's going to take me a week to get things back to normal after that storm onslaught! Holy cow, that was bad. I've literally just today gotten back online since power went out on Wednesday...or was it Thursday? I lost track. Anyway, everyone is still alive, but I have a lot of friends with flooded houses and destroyed fences/roof/out-buildings/etc that I'm trying to help rebuild. I just have a bunch of debris in the yard, thankfully. Did anyone else get hit with the "November Nor'easter"? |

Nor'easters usually hit VA Beach harder than hurricane's anyway, since they tend to slide down the coast and slam head-on into us. But this one was worse...It was a three-storm onslaught. The Nor'easter came down from the north and butted up against a low pressure system to our south. They stalled in those positions with VA Beach sitting perfectly in the middle. They just sat there and spun, grinding us to a pulp while they jammed more and more and more water into the Chesapeake Bay, all the while not letting anything out at "low tide." Then the remnants of Ida came along, joined the low pressure system to our south and walloped us from a different angle. All that lasted more than 36 hours...or 6 high-tides. It was worse, in a lot of ways, than Hurricane Isabel was. The flood tides got higher and we got a LOT more rain, so we didn't just have tidal flooding, we had inland flooding too. What a mess. Here's a video of the Chesapeake Bay beach at LOW tide on Thursday. Typically, there is 25 yards of beach between the houses and what are normally tiny little waves. After this video was shot, the tide came up another 5 or 6 feet and destroyed parts of all of each of those houses/businesses. http://uservideo.weather.com/video/NorE ... ke-Bay-Bri |

I saw a lot of news clips about my fellow Maryland'ers who live near the shore. As usual we saw a ton of rain and some flash floods here and there, but being as we live in the Chesapeake watershed it seems to drain fast. |
