Here comes the water

A cold front passed through the area a couple of days ago and then stalled off the coast and has been forming into a coastal storm. A nor'easter if you will. We are always susceptible to tidal flooding when there is a strong coastal storm. Luckily, this one seems pretty moderate so no threat to property, just a wet walk to the pier.

My wife and I took a stroll out to the pier just before high tide. The water is peaking at about 5 ft above the mean low low water (MLLW) line.

Neighbor's yard. The water comes much closer to their house than it does ours.

The water is up to mid-calf

This is usually all marsh grass with no water in sight

Can you find the creek?
