NE Winds and Wave action from Noel

Wave action from Noel and strong NE Winds hit Emerald Isle.

It's fascinating to get to see the power of nature from our vantage point. The NE winds today are between 20-30 mph and since we have the ocean to the South of us, the waves are almost pushed back by the wind. On the other hand, the waves are nothing to sneeze at. The waves are strong from the winds of Noel, a tropical storm that is heading N-NE passed the NC coast.






















Inspite of the winds, the temperature has remained pleasant in the low 70s, and not a drop of rain has been associated with the storm thus far. All in all another relaxed day at the beach. I must say we lucked out, once again. When you look at the news reports from the Dominican Republic and Haiti, I don't even feel like bragging about how lucky we were knowing that those less fortunate, got the brunt of the storm. Isn't that the way it seems to work most of the time? But let's not get going on that rabbitt hole... that's the topic for a future post.
