Wind and Rain

Storm through the Screen

November 15, 2023

 The news media is calling our overnight local weather "like a nor'easter."

The winds were hitting tropical storm strength last night and the rain pummeled the earth. Yesterday, we were mostly trapped inside to avoid the wind and rain. 

Debris from the Storm

Last evening, I took an image of the senior living facility through rain droplets clinging to our patio screen. It shows what we were dealing with all day. This morning, I imaged our sidewalk and the debris from the overnight windstorm. Fortunately we still have a blower and as soon as the winds die and the place dries out we will blow off the sidewalk.

We are headed to a concert in a theater tonight and I have dinner reservations at one of our favorite restaurants in Stuart. I originally booked them for outdoors on their beautiful deck overlooking the St Lucie River, but due to the expected winds and rain I have moved the reservation to an indoors table. 

The storm is supposed to end today and Friday should be nice weather, which is good because we will be departing the relative warmth of Florida for the colder and more autumnal Maryland. 

Well, at least the holiday has not been blown away!
