We took a quick drive today between 11:30-12:15 but soon realized that we shouldn’t be on the road. Strong winds whipped freezing cold salt water on us, my gear, and into my car before we decided to head for home. It was hard to fight the urge to stay out longer for “the perfect shot” but sometimes you need to know when to call it a day. Waves were crashing up and onto the circle at the end of Bearskin Neck and washing probably 4 inches of water across the street and back into the harbor on the other side. I just heard on the news that it only takes about 8-12 inches of water to carry a car away. I’m glad I wouldn’t let my husband turn around at the very end, but made him go into reverse and stay clear instead. #fighttheurgetogettheshot. We turned for home before it got too bad but saw far too many people still out on the streets. I hope they also turned for home!
Good Morning Gloucester 
Great job!!!! Sitting home here warm and cozy in NY and a little bit jealous …. just a little.

Beautiful pictures! My family and I vacation there from Missouri every summer in July (this summer will be our 15th year), and this is a view that we never get to see. Thanks for sharing!

These pictures are amazing! It’s so difficult for those of us who don’t live there full time, to imagine what this storm was doing to our beloved Gloucester/ Rockport area. These certainly tell that story. I’m glad you are safe. But thank you for posting the pictures.

Great video. Down here in Florida, wondering what it’s like at home in Rockport. Wondering no more, glad I missed it!
