Tropical Storm Beryl

  A tropical storm has wind speeds between 35 and 73 miles per hour.  Over that it is a Hurricane.  Beryl came ashore Sunday evening with winds of 70 mph. making it the second strongest tropical storm on record for the month of May.  We could still receive up to 12 inches of rain from this storm which is forcast to go back out to sea and head north.  Tides were to be 2 to 4 feet above normal adding to the excitement for ducks and boaters.  The lights blinked a few times and the house ratteled a little but other than that we slept like babies.  There was an odd calm around 11 P.M. which the local newscaster said was the eye so don't celebrate quite yet.  He was right.  We went to the beach this morning and found the life guards on duty, the very efficient beach rescue vehicles at the ready, and the doons in tact.  The day before we went to Salt Run and watched some boaters preparing for the blow.
