The final rainfall total from Tropical Storm Eta was around 7 inches. Beth and I went outside around 9:00, which was "high tide". The water had come over the seawall and was about six feet in the yard. I've only seen it come over the seawall a few times but never anywhere close to as high as that. The dock had been lifted off it's frame and was starting to float down the canal. I was able to secure it with a rope and pull it into the yard to prevent it from heading out to sea. Thanks to our nephew Scott, the problem is already being resolved.
Eta has left the Gulf coast and is now near Jacksonville. Soon it will be in the Atlantic Ocean and although it left quite a path of destruction to parts of Nicaragua and Florida, it will soon dissipate. Thankfully we're safe and a day closer to closing the book on 2020!
I have a dental appointment tomorrow to repair an old root canal. I just noticed that tomorrow is Friday, November 13 2020. YIKES!
