- Ok - well maybe it wern't exactly a Nor'easter - but it sure felt like one! - We had turrential rains and lots of wind! - the sky an sea - she was mighty furious! - Lots of folks actually flooded in our area from it. - We did too. Luckily the water stayed low in our basement, (although it did go clear from one side to thee other!) - and ye ol' sump-pump stopped momentarily till me first mate could clear out the pipes in the dry well, from all sorts of pollen, and seeds! - then she started up again, all purty like - Ayyye, what a sound! - Nothin' like the comfertin' sound o' yer sump-pump a-workin'!  Our neighbor wern't so fotunate as we ....with water up to their ankles ( yes, really!), they were a bailing in the wee hours o' the mornin' til the rain subsided enough that it wern't comin' back in by the bucket full!
 I hear tell that the docks were up to the top in water too - what a sight that must-a been! - harkens back to the last hurrican what tore through town, shutting everything down, and settin' boats up on the road! - The lights near the shoppin' center, did go out, and thar be those who be in charge, all over the place, tryin' te direct traffic ( yeah - that's a job I would want! :P) - Well, all's well today me Hearties, with the sun peekin' out from behind white fluffy clouds, and most of the tree limbs picked up.

- Ayye - It coulda been much worse!
