Paul, Dammit! - an hour ago

Paul, Dammit! is riding out the beast in its heart. His last update was an hour ago:
2200 Update (now with photos!)
We're still here! We're moored to a dock that is completely submerged. Our mooring lines are stretched tight to moorings that are 4 feet or more underwater. The surge is about 14 feet above normal high tide. Gusts are over 115mph, seems to be holding steady winds around 75mph.

My truck is gone. I loved that truck. I shall mourn it.
My employer's office presumably is a total loss.
So far, no one has been hurt or killed within my company's ranks.
This is a major success.
I don't think we'll be moving tomorrow. It's nasty.

If you can see from the pic, the water is receding now. It's currently about the height of the doorknob at the warehouse, so, figure about 3 1/2 feet above the dock. Quite a misery.
He also significantly updated his earlier post from today -- go and read. Posted by DaveH at October 29, 2012 8:07 PM
