August 9th brought us a beautiful beach day and we watched storms go both north and south of us as we enjoyed sunshine. Suddenly, about 6pm, our skies darkened and the clouds came flying in and we knew we were under a thunderstorm warning but we werent' prepared for what happened. Winds blew the flag poles horizontally, trees crashed all around us, people ran for shelter from the beach leaving their belongings behind. It blew through in a few minutes but left no power for a few days and a lot of damage but mostly to trees and very little to cottages, thank goodness.
We managed to get to town to get pizza and celebrated a belated birthday for Katy by candlelight with friends. The kids played candyland by flashlight.
