Tide got a tad high on the estuary this afternoon. This is where the parking lot of a seafood cannery meets the river. Doesn’t usually meet it quite this intimately.<\/p>\n

The dock on the left (below) is fixed and normally sits high above the water. The dock on the right floats. That bridge you see going UP between them usually goes DOWN, substantially so, when the world is as it should be.<\/p>\n

The waterfront businesses became much more waterfronty. That’s not a big puddle you see there. That’s the tide coming in.<\/p>\n

It was clear and dry when I took these (though windy as you can see by the bow atop the Christmas tree). Moments later, a bank of black, wind-driven clouds roared over. All the people photographing the flood or going to or from the little waterfront coffee house there (because the flood never detered anybody and there was a dry path in) ran like heck to get under cover. Rain. Hail, Thunder. All coming at us sideways. I was about 20 yards from Old Blue and was soaked to the skin by the time I got there.<\/p>\n

People don’t run from rain in the NorthWET. That was as odd a sight as anything else.<\/p>\n

All was well, though. These photos were taken at the peak of high tide. Just a few closed streets and a couple of businesses inaccessible for an hour or so. No serious damage anywhere that I could see.<\/p>\n
