Finally got a chance to get to Tobay this morning. Beach is beat up. Ocean took several feet of the new dune they put up after Sandy. Water was crashing under the beach house well after high tide. Waves were really clean though.
What a beautiful day on the beach. Swell from Humberto is dropping now, but great rides early today and honestly just beautiful to sit on the sand and watch it roll in for hours.
Don’t know if anyone is awake on the immediate south shore, but look east. What a light show. Tiny cell blowing up out over the ocean. Marine warning says it’s 50 Miles south of Nantucket. Pretty cool and only something you see this time of year.
I think its been mentioned but the extreme dew points make it a lot harder for AC equipment to cool a home and therefore can lead to more power usage. 100/60 will take less energy to cool than 100/80.
I know others have mentioned the high number of lightning bugs around. I feel like this is the most I ever remember seeing. Maybe not surprising after having seen them deep into October last year. I also feel like I have a couple of giant dragon fly’s from the Permian era flying around my back yard.
I saw this boat last weekend. The owner of this thing should have to bear the full cost of the removal. The "up to" $15k probably won't cover the cost to the state to have this removed. This was intentional and sets a bad precedent for people that don't know what do with their useless old boats. You can't just leave this thing at the curb and hope the garbage men will take it away.
Great picture though lol

I actually meant to post this but I saw the first one over a week ago. Surprised because it was so cool and rainy. Now I have multiple a night in my yard. I guess I am in a good spot for them.
