Storm watch

My backyard and across the street at sunset.

Three hours to high tide by me. Not looking great, but I found this amusing:

I'm watching the tide on a security cam and wondering what are those white things at the front of the boat? I'm thinking maybe garbage bags or shrink wrap hung up on something.

Turns out it's swans.

A whole family. They don't seem too concerned about the weather.

They're probably the only ones.
 
The good news is the whip wasn't hooked up in the tower, just captive between a couple of the tubes. I added another spring line to try to limit the forward motion, but I think it's going to be a long night.

Also lost a fairly large branch out of the one maple that I thought we could save.

Looks like the property is going to lose most of its foliage soon. Poo. 🙁

Hopefully that piece that cleats are in is sunk into something solid👍

Not sure what kind of tree my neighbor has, we tall skinny tree with a spade shape leaf is now bald.

I'm going to say that's a good thing. Foliage creates a lot of drag. I wish this maple had shed leaves like the other one. The other is in far worse shape, but since it is it's lost a lot of leaves the wind blows right through it.

I'm going to guess the tree with spade shaped leaves is a Northern Catalpa. I've got one that's similar, but more umbrella shaped. However, most of the other ones I've seen are tall and relatively thin.
