Kayak at our front door during Nor'Ida

Some one named the storm Nor'Ida. I like the name. Hated the storm and it's affects.

Here's a friend at our front door. This is not at the highest of the 3 high tides.

Note: water did not come over the Chesapeake Bay beach to our front door. It did not come over the shore at Crab Creek, nor over the banks of Pleasure House Creek. This was from our storm drains that feed into one pipe. Logical huh? You may be asking, why doesn't the City have "plugs" or some kind of engineering in the appropriate place for big storms like this? Follow this blog, and we'll explore why.
