I re-mounted the weather station up higher on the pole last month; new heights: bottom of sensor unit is 9' 10" above ground level, top of rain gauge is set to 10' 11" above ground level. Previously, the bottom of the sensor unit was 3'-4' above ground level when it got flooded by Hurricane Sandy.
Last weekend, extensive flooding on the tidal marsh, some of the deepest I've seen yet. I took out the canoe on Saturday morning off of our property (a first without being a disaster) then went to Metompkin beach with some friends, Mau and Jackie, on the dory; their first time seeing the barrier islands.

Extensive flooding of tidal marsh means launching the canoe from our property without a dock Launching canoe from our property; normally this is dry land   I remounted the weather station sensor suite. The bottom of sensor suite is 9' 10" above ground level, top of rain gauge is set to 10' 11" above ground level.   CORSICA on Metompkin Beach  First glimpse of Metompkin Beach  Getting a closer view of the ocean  Getting even closer to the ocean  Lissette is terrified just looking at the computer screen  Back at the cottage; sunset on the flooded tidal marsh |
