Winter Storms


This is in honor of Mom/Becky/Grammie. Last week we had six straight days of rain, wind, high surf, thunder and lightning...in essence a week full of some awesome storms. On Wednesday, probably the worst day, it rained close to two inches, and the surf was supposed to be between 15-20 feet. So, the weather obsessed person I am, I had to take a trip to the beach and check out these waves. The day before, the waves were so high they were crashing over the top of the pier. Fortunately, yet unfortunately for photo ops, they were not crashing over when I went. Still, I caught some good photos (at least for what my silly little 6 mega pixel could catch). The waves that day were a good 15 feet, and for our area that is huge. Needless to say it was pretty amazing to watch.


On Friday, the last day of the storm, Clara Belle and I went to the Harbor because that was where the highest waves were supposed to be and they were probably 15 or so feet. We lucked out and hit a break in the storm...it was raining when we arrived, sun came out and within 15 minutes of leaving it started to pour. Hope you guys enjoy!
