Tropical Storm Hanna passed behind us early this morning to the west about 70 miles. It was in a rush moving 22 mph. I'm sure the coastal plain region of North Carolina got drowned by rain. Tropical storms carry so much rain, as if they are a moving funnel spilling all the rain in the heavens over the earth.
The rain cleared out here about mid morning leaving behind only pulsing southerly gusts up to around 50+ miles per hour. I scouted the oceanfront at First Street and watched as the south wind scoured the beaches. The south current along the beach was weaker than I expected. The swell had a pronounced south angle and was only about what looked like a little overhead outside.
Surf tomorrow? The wind will dictate it all. One forecast I saw earlier has a light onshore wind tomorrow, slowly building as the day stretches into the afternoon. We'll see.
