Hurricane Matthew Blog - Part 4: Home, Safe and Sound


Before fleeing the storm, it was important to make sure the rain gauge would survive the event.  A bucket and a little Quik-crete came to the rescue for the good ol' Stratus!
 
The figure of sea surface temperatures and winds didn't go as planned.  NBDC Buoy 41009 was lost to Hurricane Matthew at 0830Z today.  The winds came in quickly and knocked the device right off its moorings.

The damage was minimal, but there was a large branch down in my yard, about 6 inches in diameter





I'm looking for others to share their stories of any interesting pre-storm preparations or post-storm findings!  If I get enough, I could make another blog post for all of it!
