Good Night Irene!


Charleston only experienced tropical storm levels of rain and wind today as the center (eye) of Hurricane Irene passed within 160 miles of the coast

DH met me at the office as I worked late (again) and we decided to head out to the beach since the worst of the rain and wind had moved north. Wow, the power of these storms is incredible. Astronomical high tide of 7 .5 feet plus the storm surf left no beach on the Isle of Palms, major erosion, and the best ride in town- the pier at the sea cabins. The sway of the pier, the rush of surf just below and often over the pier was exhilerating. We didn't plan the activity so only have cell phone pictures.
