Yeah that’s what they all say everytime they go through a squall.
10-15s blow out windows in 65ft crew boats and sweep water over the stern of a 300ft supply boat trying to hold DP.

I’m hearing about 3 feet or so on Cheniere. Not sure about the island itself.

I always hear people talk about Cheniere but never knew exactly what/where it was. Care to shed some light?

Damn. The FRC was actually out on crew training at the time the storm rolled through. Luckily they were out there and able to help a bit.

How the hell do 115 mph winds just happen without a hurricane or tornado?



That's what I was trying to figure out. That's nuts. Apparently it's called a wake low and can happen even inshore

From what I was told this morning, Some campers at our place had windows blown out and most have shifted from their spots but none overturned. I imagine that there will be some vent covers and caps missing leading to water damage. I'm planning to head down there Friday. Power was restored this morning.

You're at the new campground on the left side right before the graveyard?
