John, as you well know, the best thing about this storm is the fact that the storm surge wasn't near what they were predicting. My question is, why wasn't it? Was it possibly because it upgraded so fast right at the last minute, that it didn't have time to get behind a big wall of water and push it inshore. Besides the flooding damage, the fact that it's salt water makes it a horrible thing to have to endure.
News hasn't checked it but apparently Cameron came out ok. Audrey struck Cameron in June 1957. I think it was hit with a 10' surge. I was a deck hand on a tug pushing barges down the Interooastal Waterway (Canal) from Galveston to NOLA that summer (summer job). Remnants, including human and large animal bodies were all the way up to and farther inland than the Canal. They had Swamp Buggies, huge things out throughout the summer still picking up huiman bodies, some North of the Canal. The stench was so bad you couldn't eat for the day it took the boat (barges loaded with Sulphur from Galveston) to pass the area. The marshes, looking south, were full of anything that would float, being washed there in the tide. A real mess.
I was hoping for some rain out of the deal but it didn't get this far West. How are things going for you?

Our young family had recently moved to rural Chesapeake, Virginia to a plot of land which would finally allow us to realize our dreams of a huge garden, critters and more lawn and pasture than we would ever use! We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel.
