Lost power at 0400, came back on 1115. (made coffee on a Sterno can)
Lots
of branches, but no trees down. Didn't get much rain. Wind wasn't as
strong
as predicted. Sun is out now. Looks like we dodged her. Now waiting to
hear how my boat is doing. Water is 8' above MLW!


MLW??


Good news - sounds like it eased up very quickly after making landfall.

That's what I assumed that it meant. However, I regularily deal with 12m
(39 ft) tides - so 8' above MLW would the the average height less than 2
hours after low water.

If you said 2' higher than MHW, then I could see the problem.

Holy frikin christ!

Oh. I'm a bit 'edgy' today. Still have no word on how my boat faired. I
believe the tidal range for the Chess. Bay is only 2' (?). So 8' above even
MLW is a big deal here.

Thanks. Now I understand!

6' above the normal HW wouldn't be such an issue where the normal range is
39'.

I didn't understand the significance of quoting a figure above "low"
water.... so I asked.


I got an answer, and now I know a little more about the world. I learned
something ... did you?
