Tropical Storm Elsa said her tearful goodbyes here yesterday with almost two inches of rain and wind gusts that reached almost 40 miles per hour, according the Brooklin School’s weather station.
Although the rain at times was slashing and the County was under flash flood and high surf warnings, no significant harm appears to have been done here. Besides, we needed the rain to bring our ground water levels up before August.
Above, you see Fiona, defenseless in the rain at her lonely mooring in Great Cove yesterday. She’ll probably have to be bailed out soon. Below, you see a nearby field pond being topped off at about the same time. No frogs were complaining.
