N'orEaster

The day before the storm
The day before the storm the water hits the wall
The new wall and the old section
The day before
Ocean Storms are called N'oreasters here because the winds swirl around coming in off the ocean from the Northeast. They're really winter hurricanes and I could tell you some stories about the infamous Blizzard of '78 but you can probably Google it so I'll let you decide. Here in my neck of the woods we're really below sea level and in the 1930's a seawall was built along the shores of many of the coastal towns on the South Shore. The problem is that they are crumbling and last Spring the one at the end of our street failed causing a need to replace a 450 foot section. Only the tip of the iceberg though as it ALL needs to be replaced. You know the story. No funds etc.. Well, if you live there it's a must.

Summer Rain

Yet another of what have been daily thunderstorms just blew through here about an hour ago. This has been our typical weather for about the past 6 weeks and is unusual for New England. Here are some shots from my 4th floor Studio last Saturday. The flash flooding created a difficult situation for the passing motorists and turned our parking lot into a raging river!
