We made it through the storm just fine, it was a long night as I thought it
would be! The phone died shortly after midnight that night when the water
was over the dock a couple feet. It was a pretty comfortable ride all in
all. I adjusted lines again at 2 am and actually slept until 3:30! I let
out about a foot of line on the lee side and slept until 7 am! When I got
up there were a few folks standing on their decks geezing at the water, it
looked like a huge raft-up with no visible pilings. We had about 5' of
water over the dock, the picnick table vanished and my half barrel garden
moved about 3' after it was submerged. For those of you who know Annapolis:
McNasby's has huge holes in two brick/cinderblock walls, the roof was torn
off Jabin's building, the Chart House (old Trumpy finishing sheds) lifted
off the pilings and came back down wierd so they may be toast. City Dock
is a disaster, most of the restaurants and businesses were flooded.
Fawcetts is trashed and I heard there were kids jumping off it's roof into
Ego Alley Friday. There were sunk boats, boats up on shore, and blocked
boats that fell over, blown out windows, knocked down trees, and lots of
water! I helped clear out the water at Muller's where he had about 4"
inside. The dog loved playing in the surf in the boatyard Friday and I had
fun helping retrieve the dumpster which had floated up the street! There
were huge log jams in the streets so driving has been a challenge. The
Natl. Guard was here and things are quickly getting back to normal.

Seahag, glad that's over!

Got word that my boat made it through the storm just fine. What a
relief!!!! still can't get down to her, as the road into the marina is
closed, police barricades et al.

Scotty, a happy camper once again.

Scotty,

It is that Surge that has me worred, on here in the NW.

I remember those Surges when I lived back East. Those shallow bbodies of
water would lift boats above those pilings that they were moored to and
as the water went out, the boat would be impailed by the pilings as they
settled. Hope this isn't the case with our group.
