Pictures of the Nor'easter - The Remnants of Hurricane Frances
September 8-9, 2004
We went out about 3PM to take a few pictures of
the waves rated at 7-10 feet. The wind was gusting up to about 35 knots. Later in the evening, We wanted to go to a zoning
meeting at the Town Hall to hear about the condos planned for the Johnstons'
Cottages area, but it was cancelled because no one could come over from
Put-in-Bay. The meeting is re-scheduled for 7PM next Wednesday 9/15.
The water went up another foot or two between 5PM
and 11PM but then started dropping rapidly. There was no significant flooding
anywhere on the island.
All the pictures except the last are from Sept. 8. The last picture was taken at 7:49PM on September
9, the day after the storm. Every once on awhile, a picture comes out just
right. This one will probably replace the sunset picture I had planned for the
new 2005 Middle Bass calendar, which should be available in October on the web site.

The Burgundy Bay Marina stayed calm, but the water was very high
