And then there was W-I-N-D !

Yes, the wind whistled all day on Friday and continues on Saturday.

Folks have been asking about flooding. Actually, the opposite happens in the bay. Whenever the wind blows hard from the north, the Chesapeake will have exceptionally low tides.  Several boats are now hanging on their dock lines. The safety ladders in the DH Marina are out of the water by more than one foot. That's about as low as it gets.

Wind is another story. Many of the Townhouses here have blow-offs. Nothing too serious, but, enough to foster leaks if not fixed before the next rain.  Sentry is on the case.  Replacement shingles are on order.  Cattail Cove and Marshy also had several blow-offs.  Fascia capping has also been lost.

Townhouse One lost some fascia but their laminated shingles fared better in the high winds.
