High Winds & High Tides
The weather has been very wet and the winds came up the other night. We could hear the surf pounding the shore all the way up Charlton to the cabin. The combination of high water levels from the rain, an exceptionally high tide and high winds made for a pretty scary time for those in low lying areas and waterfront properties. In Qualicum Bay (above) the surf threw debris up onto the Island Highway and slapped at the front of some of the beach-front homes - yeah, no thanks! The Nile Creek was also running very high, wild, roaring and unrecognizable from just days before. Nature sure is something to behold. Thankfully unbroken weeks of rain appear to be ending.
If the Weather Network is correct we are in for some sun - my fingers are crossed.
