Southwest Connecticut Ernesto damage.

I talked to abother friend in Greenwich. He reports the
winds were Southeasterly and that a dozen boat went up on
the rocks and half a dozen sank at Indian Harbor. All on
moorings.
Some say the winds were over 60 knots. They were
definately over 50 knots with 11 feet of surf according to my
friend.
It would have to be a pretty strong mooring to take 11 foot
waves, no matter the wind force.
It's odd that Ernesto kept such strength so far north,
usually hurricanes weaken quickly traveling over land. I am
glad all your boats & property came out safely.
