We were out in Hammond today and notice the water drop. Then it came rolling back it right after the storm.
It came back almost 2 feet higher
Pretty wild to watch, The current get wicked.

Yeah...when we came back in the current at the opening of the harbor was like whitewater! Couldn't believe how high it was! When it dropped, we were, of course, wading at Boater's Beach and never really noticed...although in retrospect, my boat did bounce off the bottom a couple times, and then an hour later I jumped off the back and went in over my head....and I had two anchors set hard so I know I didn't move.
This weather is starting to piss me off...
