Tuesday’s Storm

Phones were beeping late Tuesday afternoon warning us of a possible tornado.  Not a normal weather alert at the shore!

We watched the sky turn black, the wind pick up, and then torrential sideways rain.  Crazy views from my office window.

Thankfully, it was a quick moving storm and caused mostly nuisance damage (deck furniture, awnings, trash cans, and a few trees).  Minor street flooding drained within the hour.

I noticed a story circulating about a reverse tsunami (?) and a picture of beach damage.  I believe the picture was ACTUALLY taken in January after winter storm Jonas.  Beaches here are fine (beach picture taken Tuesday evening).
