| Big nor'easter hit Saturday... we sent some folks out to cover it. |
 |
| First stop... Sagamore Beach, in Bourne |
 |
| Heavy wind along the coast, it took down some tree limbs. |
 |
| Next stop, Marshfield. |
 |
| Ocean Bluff, to be exact. |
 |
| They blocked off Brant Rock, which floods heavily with splashover. |
 |
| We actually got out of the car when we went to Duxbury Beach. |
 |
| The legendary Public Stairs took a beating. |
 |
| I had trouble standing against the wind at Duxbury, and I'm 240 pounds. As you can see in the video above, I got blown back 10 feet. |
 |
| Safer behind a house anyhow... |
 |
| Hiding on Cable Hill, out of the wind, behind someone's garage. |
 |
| 10 foot tide, 2 foot surge |
 |
| Coulda been worse... |
 |
| Only spray was getting over the wall |
 |
| If you stood any closer than this, you'd get (more) soaked. |
 |
| See? |
 |
| We'll examine Duxbury's seawall maintenance when the storm abates. |
 |
| Getting just this close was essentially the same level of soakedness that you get going swimming. |
 |
| Visibility, 15 yards |
 |
| Same vantage point for every shot, but I didn't see any other photographers out there. |
 |
| My old house is the yard to the right (south) of the flagpole. |
 |
| The marsh was rising... |
 |
| the road was flooding.... |
 |
| So I bailed and checked out Plymouth |
 |
| Cedarville, to be precise... in the White Cliffs |
And we were "lucky".
