Jeanne passed through our area without much of a fanfare. Lots and lots of downed trees, some roofs had concrete barrel tile blown off, one in 10 docks is damaged but, besides all that, everything seems fine. Power went out on the beach at about 2:30 and was just restored about 11 pm. Our 8,000 watt generator ran from 3:30 to 11 on 4 gallons of gas - wow. Winds here were about 65 mph sustained at the height of the storm (after the eye passed north of us) and we saw some gusts about 80 or 90. The dreaded high tide in Madeira Beach at 11:53 am (2.53 above sea level) and northerly winds about 45 mph did not envoke any flooding here - didn't even come over the seawall. We'll see tomorrow how we hold up with flooding with the storm north of us now. |
