They are tolerating each other more than usual. The storm is now subsiding in our part of St. Margaret's Bay. We rushed back from a visit to PEI, arriving about noon Sunday to find partially flooded lawn from an overly high tide. The wind was from the East. In just a few hours, the wind shifted to northerly, blowing the water out of the bay at the same time as tide was falling, giving an unusually quick drop in the water level. The shift in wind direction shows that the center has moved just past us offshore, which is confirmed by the IR satellite pictures. Meanwhile, the waves in the Bay have grown larger, with numerous whitecaps. There are very dramatic breakers striking the south end of Wedge Island. Just now the sun has burst forth, with blue sky. The change is very dramatic! On 23 Aug 2009, at 9:15 AM, Ken MacAulay wrote: > Just had a female hummer at the feeders fighting to stay on station > in the strong gusts while taking lengthy sips.
