65-70 Knots of breeze, 8' tide surge on top of high tide, some tornadoes, barely pulling on the mooring lines, all in all not bad.

I f it has to cause all this mess, I sure hope it also brings rain were needed.
 
We had 40 knot winds yesterday.
Light sprinkle this morning.
Water in the inland lakes dropped 3 to 4 ft.
Water at the beach dropped dramatically also.
SW Louisiana.
 
Nice secure looking spot you have there...any spot like that up here would have a line of boats at it before a storm.
 
Every storm has it's "specialty". In this case, that specialty is/was RAIN. Winds were certainly storm strength, but not really an issue. The surge was large for a "minimal" storm, but still, nothing special ( Except in duration. Level is still fairly high ). OHOH: It has dumped an incredible amount of rain, over a very large area, and most inland rivers are currently above flood stage. The damage from this storm will almost certainly be confined to flood damage inland, from normally "tame" sources.

In my case ( "on the beach" ), I have no fresh water issues. And the wind failed to knock a particularly irritating "widowmaker" out of one of my large oak trees. Looks like I'll have to actually cut it out, dag-nab-it.
 
That's a nice looking boat. She looks very comfortable in many ways.
 
Looks like a good hidey-hole L Keith... better keep it secret, you might need it again!
