So far a tree fell in our backyard. I was on the roads and retail stores were out of power. The street lights werent working, so I went speeding LOL.
I had to go to the bank today to deposit some dough, but the fucking banks were closed and they are supposed to open 11am to 3pm.
Seriously, bank of america has the atm machine with a money slot so you can deposit cash straight in, and citizens bank doesnt have that technology. They have those stupid envelopes you put cash in and wait for the fat fuck to manually count your money and perhaps steal it and put it in your account. ffs its 2011 and most of these fucking companies cant keep up to date on technology. We are like going backwards in technology.
This is a tropical storm. People worrying about it as a hurricane need to calm down. Its not like Katrina.
sorry im a bit pissed, i just couldnt deposit my damn money today. I drove for a hour around in this weather and failed to find a open bank.

I surfed Thursday, Friday (around 6- 8pm during the storm), yesterday morning, and this afternoon.
Thursday it was really fun 4 - 5ft. for most of the day, getting bigger into the night.

Friday was pretty big, but too blown out. 7 - 9ft in the afternoon. I heard it was a lot better midday, but I had class and work. The rain really helped glass off everything, but the wind was 30+ mph, so it made the waves pretty hard to catch from the chop.

Saturday was the best. The storm passed, so the swell was all that was left, and the offshore winds helped pick the face up higher on the wave to about 5-6 ft. There were a lot of fun lefts that were semi-clean.

Today was decent for longboarding. Had a lot of long rights from the current. It wasn't big at all (I'd say about 3 - 4ft.) but size isn't everything ;)

As for the destruction around here: No floods. No severe damage. A lot of branches, sticks, and pine cones to pick up though.
