We are still boat bound - the water is up about another foot from the picture we sent yesterday. Here's the comparison. The top picture is from yesterday, the bottom one from this morning. Note the white electrical outlet in the bottom of the picture and the dock (or lack thereof) beside the little motor boat.
The wind howled at times last night. Our peak reading wind gauge recorded a shocking maximum of 99.9 knots...
Luke says it's not probable, but.....the little gauge has been accurate before AND we knot that the the weather stations were reporting 74 knots in the Chesapeake yesterday evening. 73 knots is hurricane strength....
Anyway, based on the water over the dock, we're still boat bound for a while, maybe all day. I haven't checked the weather yet, but I suspect it may be Sunday before we can leave.

Glad u guys are ok. Water over the greenways at the Roanoke River but it actually stayed inside the cuts that they made and the take on it is that the flood control project was a success. Minimal trash on the greenways so cleanup is moving on already. Long drive to and from Richmond today. It was clearing here but picked up rain and fog along the way. I know you guys will be glad to get under way and head to Ga. for thanksgiving. Take care! C
