It’s not all about us

It's a small world and we were found by a former resident of Stratford Harbour (now living in Tennessee) Google searching for news on Ernesto and Stratford Harbour. His family weekend home is off the marina at Stratford Harbour and the seawall they built 25 years ago took a major hit, as you can see from this photo (top left).

Other friends from Stratford Harbour had their boat float off their pier and up onto the shore. You have to wait for a nice and high tide - assuming there's no structural damage to the boat - to get it back on the dock!

The two bottom photos were taken as we kayaked up the river to view the damage from a different vantage point. These are the homes I mentioned that are barely 25 feet above the water. The shoreline and bulkhead were torn up, as were boat houses, docks, and piers. Not to mention the boats - many of which were tossed twenty yards plus into lawns.
