Sail right up to my house!

Photos of the flooding that occured with 3 nor'easters (storms that come from the north east) in 4 days. My house is the only dry one in the neighborhood, I think I'm about 7" above the rest & that has kept me dry.
Nor'easters erode dunes, flood out the bay areas & push the ocean water on shore, keeping it from draining out. To have that many storms in only a few days is unique & I'm hoping, not something that will happen again in my lifetime. Further inland, the storm is bringing early snow, snapping trees laden with fall leaves & knocking out power for people.

Don't try this at home kids.

Unsafe driving

Never drive through standing water like this SUV is doing. You can't tell what is under the water.......the street might have caved in & you would never know until it is too late. The thing to remember is "Turn around, don't drowned" when you are faced with flooding. Many unnecessary deaths happen because people think they can get to the other side. It only takes 6" of water to float your car & push it into deeper water or wash it away. With the water being only 60 degrees & the wind chill being 40 degrees, you will die from hypothermia within 7 minutes of being in the water.

Marina district

Looking to the north.

I took this from the top of the 41st floor of the new building. The journey wasn't for the faint of heart. You rode the open elevator to the top with it shaking & jolting at every floor, open for you to watch yourself move up & down. I climbed the eight flights of open stairs attached to the side of the building & walked across a open drop to stand on the roof. The only thing between me & the air was a few cables strung up around the edge. The wind blew so fiercely that my hard hat was being held on by my braid & not much else. But oh, the view, breathtaking isn't it?
