Rising Tide

Calm today at nearly high tide, but if Hurricane Florence follows the predicted track, this will look very different by the end of the week.  We are preparing for a possible Category 4 storm, meaning 140 mph winds and lots of water.  That would likely mean mandatory evacuation. Interesting details for me are the US flag on the far right, and the fact the distant buildings along the shore on the horizon are about 19 miles away.
