Labor Day 1999 - The Waters Rose

It wasn't supposed to be this way. But there was this hurricane way out to sea. But not far enough out. The tide rose. And rose. And rose.

So we made do. We went fishing RIGHT in the back yard. We gathered for a group photo in the new Little House - and were grateful that it was built on stilts.

And we hung out a lot - staring out from the porch, and noting each new landmark as it disappeared under water. The best part - the water did NOT come into the house. Up to and under it, but nothing inside. And no harm done.
