UPDATE: Things Are Looking Worrisome


UPDATED: I got home at about 6:45 PM - roughly 2+ hours after high tide - and the water in the creek was about 2 feet below the top of the bank. Thus, we are likely alright for tonight. The likely test will be high tide late tomorrow afternoon. We are obviously keeping our fingers crossed.

Based on the latest forecasts for the tide levels, it is looking very worrisome in terms of possible flooding in the greater Norfolk area. If the water levels reach those of Hurricane Isabel, there will a great deal of damage - including to our home. The law office, salon and the house I own in Norfolk should be fine, but the house in Hampton could be at real risk. The times of high tide tomorrow will be the real test based on the tide forecast pictured above.

Once I get home, I will blog more on various subjects and report first hand what the water levels look like in Robinson Creek behind the house as well as the harbor level as I cross the bridge/tunnel.
