Hurricane surge

[Barking Sands]

Dock power is off. But I recently added the Victron MP2 and plenty of lithium. Also have Verizon home internet that takes very little juice. And finally added Zumimal pan/zoom wifi cameras. Currently pulling 6.5 amps out of the 920ah bank. Plenty of capacity.

So because of this I can monitor the boat via cam and wifi as well as electrical situation.
Location is Tarpon Springs.

Current situation:

May have another foot or two to go.

Location would help.

I see your pedestal is either pretty short or under 3-feet of water

Not looking good for our place in Madeira Beach. We're flying back from Mexico on Saturday. Drywall knife in hand....

Ditto. I regret that the new TF seems to have eliminated subscribers' location info. It's easy enough to re-enter in your profile, but that does seem to require a little self-awareness and affirmative action.

Yes...Tarpon Springs very close to sponge docks.

I think its close to cresting. Hopefully its just a bit of drywall and basic stuff. Crossing fingers.

Good luck to you. Looks worse the further north you go. Our house is a 1950s cottage - slab on grade. We're thinking of moving a few miles inland to higher ground to avoid storms like this. We travel a lot and it's an unnecessary distraction.

Always enjoy your posts. Best wishes.

It's definitely slowing. This latest is nearly an hour after the picture above and only gone up a few inches.
