Ahh ... Crazy Weather on the Outer Banks.

Here's what it looks like, with all the wind, all the rain, and the rising waters.

This morning, I had another class in Manteo,
at the College of the Albemarle, from 9-11.

Raining cats and dogs.
Tornado warnings.

And I have to go over that big ass bridge with the wind blowing my big ass truck all over the place.


Can I just say, ZERO visibility?

Rain blowing in sheets horizontally.

I always say a prayer whenever I go over that bridge.

I hate bridges.

White Knuckles!

Oh, BTW, none of these pics are of the bridge. These are all AFTER the bridge.
I had both hands firmly ensconced on the steering wheel
whilst going across the bridge.

This was about 11:30 this morning.
I love rain and weather, but it scares me when I'm IN it, driving.

Now, check out these pictures.
About 5 PM this afternoon, we left Lucky 12 Tavern.

Colington Road, the only road to where I live, has its quirks.




These are the usual places it always floods.

We had a combination of lots of rain this morning.

Then, a fierce SW wind, which blows the water back up in the sound and into the canals.


Thus, giving us overwash.

Now, here's my dock.

Ummm.
Maybe 20 minutes later, my dock is gone.
