Flood Warnings/Watches
- Thread starter Sneakers
- Start date
Tide only got to 3.54'...that's a regular ocurrence and a minor nuisance, covering some stretches of the road a few inches deep. We use our pier and the lower yard area as a visual "tide gauge"...at 3.0' the water is dead level with the pier deck and just starting to cover the lowest parts of the yard.
There are two distinctly different types/causes of flooding in SOMD. On St. Georges Island, we are only affected by tidal flooding (and fairly often too). Much of the rest of the county is only/mostly affected by flooding caused by heavy rains. Even the heaviest of rain storms has virtually no impact on our island...a couple temporary "ponds" created by a failing drain system excepted.
That's exactly why St. George's is often singled out for coastal tidal flood warnings (we even have our very own dedicated tide prediction station put in by NWS). And its why why the islanders can/do ignore the flood warnings that accompany heavy rains.

Like? Sure. Love? Uhhhhhh.......
The word love is thrown around far too much. And its gotten me in trouble before.
Back when i went to church, the pastor was always preaching about Love Thy Neighbor, but when I did, her husband got mad and chased me from the house.
That should get those Huntington gophers on the run.A neighbor of mine just posted this. Hopefully it is a typo. Maybe I’ll head inland for dinner this evening.View attachment 171192
