Monday’s storm was probably one of the worst we’ve personally experienced in our seven years living on Beach Drive. I was surprised to see how many neighbors were hit hard.
We typically get an extra dose with having a low driveway and neighbors with lower bulkheads. This is one of the reasons why we put together our “barking dog” reports… just warn when we are doing extra preparation for possible flooding. Our built in pump in the driveway is really intended to handle rain and an occasional slurp or splash from the sound.
On Beach Drive Blog, we keep weather related links for your convenience under “Swell Links” to the right. We have more wet and windy wintery weather ahead!
