Wetlands Post-Ida






Tropical storm Ida came through, and it was strong enough to get school canceled 1 day and delayed the next. I drove through it on Thursday to go see a friend in the hospital on the day school was canceled, and it was insane. The fields looked like rice paddies, and the rivers were very high. Going over the bridge across the Chowan river, I actually drove in the middle of the two lanes just to be on the safe side. (My little car is pretty light). Anyway, this afternoon I walked through my favorite little boardwalk to see how it fared in the storm. It was clear that the boardwalk had been underwater a few days ago, and some of the sidewalk still is.
