Stranded
Looks like today will feature some forced relaxation.
LBI was hit by a Nor'easter last night, the 60 mph plus winds woke us up at 3am as outdoor furniture danced around the deck and the windows rattled like an airline in turbulence. We decided to try to leave at noon today figuring the traffic would be minimal and the weather not conducive to, well, anything.
Anything including travel as it turns out.
The Rte 72 bridge is closed until further notice due to high winds and a disabled truck. Fortunately we were able to u-turn out of the traffic line and come back to the house. So here we sit, wind howling, waves crashing up to the benches bordering the street by the ocean and not a whole lot to do.
Ah well, at least we have the house as long as we need it (especially since nobody can get here even if they rented it next). And the power is still on and we have leftover food. I think we'll survive. Sure beats work, that's for sure.

I did take a few pictures of the big waves before the camera battery went but the rain was sheeting onto the lens so I don't know if they'll look like anything when they're blown up onto the PC screen
