Seas at our 41004 bouy offshore of Charleston are only 25 knots gusting
to 33 with 8' seas......race weather!...(c;

Jammercam at the Windjammer Lounge on the ocean at the Isle of Palms near
Charleston is still on the air, so they have power:

It's a little overloaded so be patient waiting for a picture. Click the
DECK CAM for the best picture from the elevated camera up on the
observation deck we rednecks use to gawk at the girls on the beach from
through heavy lenses....(c;

Folly Beach surf cams are either offline or overloaded too much to answer
right now:
http://www.follysurfcam.com/#cams
The bottom cam is user-controlled with 8 views selectable if you get it
online.

The rovercam on:
http://www.follysurfcam.com/rovercam.html
seems to still have its live wavewatch data window running at the moment.
Give that a try, too.

Bouyweather.com on:
http://www.buoyweather.com/wxnav6.js...rogram=nww3BW1
&grb=wna&latitude=32.75&longitude=-79.5&zone=-4&units=e
is a great graphical observation of the winds and direction the surfers
use, here....sailors, too. They also have links to all the bouys and
cams way up to NC, directly from this website to watch the storm from the
beach.

Sure hope my car drain is unplugged.....(c;
Maybe I'll sleep in the stepvan to "simulate an emergency", tonight. The
EOC (Emergency Operations Center) people must feel better, by now. Some
idiot put the new Charleston County EOC down by the boatramp on the
Ashley River. The water in that parking lot would be 25' deep with the
stupid ground-mounted generators all flooded out by now if it were a real
storm. County bureaucrats seem dumber than even state bureaucrats. The
floor of the main radio relay building across that parking lot at the
base of the cop/county radio tower is nearly 6" off the ground! It won't
work, either, submerged like that. The only cure if it's serious is to
get as far away from county bureaucrats as you can get....past Atlanta.
