Nearly Surrounded by Water -Updated

The next high tide is about three and a half hours away. We are as prepared as possible under the circumstances. An hour ago the power went out, but fortunately it is back on so that we can run sump pumps to keep the garage from flooding (we have the hoses running out a side window) and then spilling into the first floor. The Chihuahua has been freaking out all day knowing that things are not at all normal. I will be online as long as possible and keep updating on our situation.

A view from the dining room across the deck - the patio is under water.

View out the front door this morning with the driveway flooded - the road is in front of the hedge in the distance.

Another view out the dining room door to the deck and patio with the creek in the back ground.

The construction company folks delivered the sand bags and all of the doors to the house, including the garage door have thick plastic sheeting and sandbags stacked about 2 feet high in the hope of keeping water out of the house. We hope the extra precaution gets us through high tide late this afternoon. Thephotos above were at high tide this morning. The Jeep and Expedition are a block or more up the street on high ground - the Mercedes is safe on the second floor in a downtown garage. I will keep updating as long as we have power.
