Hope she survived unscathed. We still had about 4 to 5 feet of piling left at Old Point Comfort yesterday at 3:30 (highest tide). The break water was underwater though.

This photo is from yesterday morning. Last night, the water was about 6" over the dock. We are well protected as there was a gale blowing on the bay a mile to the east with 4-5' waves! Winds were 25mph sustained with gusts to 35mph.

With the water so clear, I could have inspected the bottom from the dock if the water went up a bit more. :mrgreen:

The high tide last night was again over our docks. How did you guys further down the Bay fare?

Same here in Myrtle Beach, SC. The Waccamaw River will crest today. It will be interesting to see how much higher the PM tide will be. DNR was going house to house yesterday talking with people that might be affected by the Waccamaw cresting into the ICW.
I haven't been able to board my boat since last week due to the dock being under water.
