This is the Beach in South Florida. Once the Hurricane got past to Bahamas we started to get waves. This place is called Stuart Rocks. There is a reef about 50 feet offshore then another reef about 100 feet past that and another 100 feet past that. There might be more but those are the ones I can reach with a snorkel on a flat day.



Its a dangerous break because if you fall your in the reef. I stopped surfing because this is the only place there are waves around here. I got screwed up too many times. Fire corral is my favorite!! Yay!



The red arrow is pointing at a dudes house. He looks like he will be o.k. if the hurricane came this was his house would have been toast.

Here is a surfer. There were only 4 people surfing I heard one dude say it took over 40 minutes to paddle outside the break. Your arms become rubber by then and you have to just lay there and regain your strength before trying to catch a wave.

Manassas, VA, still have power, and quite honestly is just a breeze



Then again after being thru 4 hurricanes (cat 3-4), a tropical storm is nothing



Hopefully a tree won't fall on my car
