Ida Update

So far, despite weather.com graphics, Ida has pretty much been a non-event for us here along the Forgotten Coast. We’ve had a bit of rain during the day, and tonight the wind is picking up, expected to peak around 40 knots by midnight which is no big deal. As I write this around 10 p.m. it’s noisy from the wind, but the rain has stopped, and the forecast is only for about a 2 to 3 foot storm surge on top of the expected 1.5 foot high tide around 4 a.m. We should be just fine.
