Title: High Tide, High Wind
Post by: glennd3 on October 29, 2021, 12:02:40 PM
Here are some videos of my marina and boat. We are having a high tide and wind at same time on the Chesapeake. When we have a "Noreaster" wind from the eastern low pressure the water tends to "Pile Up" on the western shore. Of course my pier is floating a little although it is not a floating pier. The wind is gusting to 35 now on the bay and supposed to go to 50 later.  I took these videos.  Sorry could not upload videos but here are a couple of photos. Downtown Annapolis is flooded now.

My marina has closed the piers until they make repairs to missing planks. I fear my pier in particular has more damage  as it was floating off its pilings . have to wait and see.https://www.facebook.com/glenn.davis.7359/posts/10221948263157444?comment_id=10221949105578504&notif_id=1635537490103543&notif_t=feed_comment&ref=notif

The boat survived with no damage. The marina has replaced planks that floated away and the power is on.

Same situation in the Magothy River, water was 2 feet over the docks.  Some damage to the Marina but the boat survived with no damage.

I did see some photos of boats that floated off dock lifts that damaged the boats, power boats.
