Yesterday was one of the worst storms I've ever seen in Mill Bay. In the morning the trees were swaying so badly that I seriously considered evacuating the house. And, indeed, a tree did fall down next door.
The kids and I went for a walk with the dogs to look at the waves in Abercrombie. We got to the Parkside entrance and a tree had fallen and taken down the powerlines. Inside the park we saw 2 other huge trees that had fallen down. So it was definitely an unusually powerful storm.
What made it bad is that the wind was from the North. Mill Bay faces North so those storms are the worst. Mill Bay is in the lee for storms out of the west and east. And indeed around noon yesterday the wind swung around to the east and suddenly it was not so bad in Mill Bay. The sun came out.
In the afternoon I even climbed up Pyramid to go for a ski. The worst of the storm was over. Quick and Nasty. Patrick
