Oh how I used to love the name Ian… Right now, I am beyond grateful. We were blessed. My neighbors on the otherside of the pond were not. The ocean, met the marsh, came in waves and overpowered 1/2 of the neighborhood. In less than 10 mins, waves and water covered nearly everything.
It blessedly stopped a few feet from our back porch. The neighbors in my building are safe and sound, and we are all just trying to regroup, breathe, and count our blessings. Tomorrow the cleanup begins. Tonight, we ride out the rest of the winds, pray the water continues to recede, and look up at the bright cheery sky.
At least the Great Egrets seemed to enjoy their brunch buffets.
My prayers are with all those affected and still being affected by Ian.
Please stay safe and dry.
