powerful

Exceptionally high tides were a part of last Friday's storm. I knew there were 3 tides (Friday and Saturday) that were expected to be very high but I had no idea that the coast would continue to be battered today.

I headed to the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge mid-day today, arriving an hour before high tide. I followed the boardwalk to the ocean, finding that the waves were crashing up against the sand dunes. Usually I can manage a beach walk even at high tide; that wasn't the case today.

Watching the power of the ocean was amazing.
