Got washed out today, or maybe I should say blown out? Our pier is 1/4 mile long and out on the end it was blowing so hard the rain was coming down sideways, thanx to tropical storm Barry. There was only three of us out there and I chickened out after a couple of hours. When the waves got big enough to splash ON the pier, I left. They have a weather station on the pier with the sensors only halfway down, and it said the wind was 25 with gusts to 35.
