Vacation Day 5 - Ernesto

Our new friend Ernesto came to visit on Thursday evening.

This meant the "No Swimming" flags were out for Friday (and Saturday, for some reason). We interpreted this to mean "no swimming in the deep parts if you're not a good swimmer", but they just didn't have room on the flag to fit all of that. Note, from our angle the flag said "ON SWIMMING", so we told Sam he could go ahead and swim.


Perhaps the only real effect of the storm is that our tennis court and croquet field were rendered unplayable for the remainder of the week.


Here are the local news guys recording a segment in front of a flooded area. This was about a block away from our house. The water looks pretty high, but you could drive through it in the SUV without much trouble.

Those waves look treacherous. I am assuming you were kidding about actually swimming?

I am glad that all survived that dreadful storm
