The surf on Thursday, the day before the worst storm day. It is hard to tell from this picture but it was bad. It broke twice on its way to the beach. Huge waves crashed atop each other and multiplied. And the wind was horrendous, enough to nearly blow you over.
Muir Woods during a lull on Thursday. Real low light, (we were there late and it was so cloudy) but so beautiful and green.
This is about half of the creek behind the B&B. As you can see it is galloping toward flood stage. We actually left two nights early because the Innkeeper said maybe we should get out while we could. Trees were falling and blocking most of the main routes, and other places were flooding already. We took this lovely, scenic back roads way out, and got home without many problems. We did get caught in the southbound 101 closure at the Richmond bridge. Ricardo's GPS unit, who according to the documentation is named "Jill", has a button marked "detour". We pressed that and she led us down a variety of frontage roads that got us neatly around the closure. She's so handy.
