Parts of DE are being evacuated and I just got word that two men were rescued off a rig 60 x 24 platform vessel "Russel W Peterson" 14 miles off Rehoboth which has now sunk.

There is also a sailing vessel grounded near South Bowers with 20 foot waves breaking over it. the USCG is on scene pumping out fuel as the vessel is expected to break up

Huge surf at Indian River Inlet:

Any word on your boat?

No word - I made a call to a local guy and he said that the storage site looks fine - so I guess it is OK.

Glad I pay the extra for the dry storage - lots of boats lost becuase the docks are underwater.

high tide tonight will be brutal
 
One of the crew members of the "Russel W Peterson" died on the scene

The vessel washed up on the beach now

That is some scary stuff. Hope all is well for you and yours.
We don't deal with that kind of thing in ND. The -50 degrees in february can get a little nasty though.
 
**** thats crazy!!! Here I was complaining about a little rain that had me stay in doors. Theres some crazy weather happening all over the world.
