We were bone dry in Aug and Sept and now preparing for potentially significant flooding and tidal surges. Wild.
I am supposed to go to DC this weekend for a concert Saturday night. Also planned to visit my Dad in Arlington National Cemetery and catch up with some cousins.
Unfortunately, even if Joaquin stays off the coast, it sounds as if there is likely to be flooding in the area so it probably makes sense to skip this trip. Plus, my cousins now need to be more concerned with preparations and securing their property - this is a serious storm.
