HURRICANE DENNIS

HELL HATH NO GREATER FURY...

...THAN A WINDY STORM BREWING

THE BLOWING SAND FELT LIKE THOUSANDS OF PIERCING NEEDLES AGAINST MY SKIN DURING THE GALE FORCE WINDS.

Only half of the parking lot was closed in the morning.  When I had returned in the evening, only three rows were open.

ANGRY WAVES WERE CRASHING ALONG THE JEDDY. 
AN AWSOME SITE!

I had to hurry to take this picture.  The police man was blowing his whistle at me to come back.  I had wanted to be closer.

THE HIGH WAVES WERE A SURFER'S DREAM.  BUT THE UNDERTOW CAN BE ANY SWIMMER'S NIGHTMARE.

THE WINDS WERE SO STRONG THAT IT COULD ALMOST BLOW A PERSON BACK TO THE SEA.

THE EFFECTS OF BLOWING SAND AND THE WAVES POUNDING THE SAND CAUSES BEACH EROSION.

MY DAUGHTER, SAMANTHA, WAS AWESTRUCK BY THE POUNDING SURF AND THE WINDS.  MY YOUNGER DAUGHTER WAS LESS ENTHUSED BY THE HARD HITTING SAND, SO SHE SAT IN THE CAR.

EVEN THOUGH THE WINDS WERE BLOWING AND THE SAND STUNG, LIFE WAS GOING ON.  THE BUSINESSES WERE RUNNING AS IF IT WERE A NICE DAY.  HOWEVER, THERE ARE NOT AS MANY PEOPLE ON THIS LAST SUMMER WEEK AS IN THE PAST.

THE CARNIVAL RIDES WERE STILL IN OPERATION.  CAN YOU IMAGINE THE THRILL OF THE RIDE, HIGH IN THE AIR WITH GALE FORCE WINDS BLOWING?  WHAT A RUSH!
