Swamped Saturday

Posted on January 13, 2024 | 7 Comments

A few scenes around town, as tides rose, and flooding inundated Westport today.

High tide was a few minutes ago, just before 12:30.

The forecast for the rest of today and tomorrow: windy.

    Something tells me the used car market for luxury SUV’s is going to be “flush” with a lot of inventory in the near future. Just put ‘em on a flatbed and ship ‘em to the red states where they’re always looking for a bargain.
