Danny passed us by and didn't stop for a visit. That's the trouble with some of these storms. You watch and you wait and you still can't predict exactly what they are going to do. Alex in 2004 certainly surprised us! Danny didn't hold any surprises and luckily no punches either.

I did wake up in the middle of the night on Thursday to the sound of thunder. Friday morning I noticed it had rained a little. However there was no overwash. The tides weren't noticeably high. The waves were a little rough and I am sure that the danger of rip currents was high. I decided to go to the beach for a little while Friday morning. I drove across the airport ramp and chose a spot. There was a small band just offshore so I took some pictures of that, the beach and the clouds. It was pretty neat to watch the band approach and pass over us. Me and my fellow beach-goers were barely affected by it other than enjoying the beauty of it. A few fine drops of rain fell and the sun was covered for a minute or two and then it passed and the beautiful beach day resumed with barely a pause.

I snapped a few pictures with my camera and then my battery died so I took some more pictures with my phone. They didn't turn out half bad so I am including them in this blog. I hope you enjoy them.
