Our beaches took a pounding, but after the high tide recedes I think things will work themselves back to normal. We have 3 marinas in the neighborhood and the smallest, most protected one actually suffered the most damage.

Even my little 10 ft fiberglass rowboat stayed upright tied to the tree in the backyard.

As long as they don't go crazy opening the flood gates up north again I think we will barely notice we had a storm.
We just got our electric back on, after 25 hours on a generator.

I'm glad I had my boat pulled on Thursday, friends can't get to theirs because the tide is over the piers in the marinas and the high is yet to come.

Plenty of cold fresh water from the rivers will cool the bay off fast. We won't see the end result of the high rainfall until next spring or early summer. My rain gauge showed 10" of "barely notice". That's a major problem.
