Fortunately we were able to avoid the Hurricane last night. However there were many that weren't as lucky as we were.
Tonight, Misty and I drove around to see how the water surge had affected the city. We went into Portland and noticed that on Highway 35 North the water had come into downtown and was running through her streets. We did however see several people fishing and surfing in the water and they didn't appear to be affected by the rise in the water.
On our way back we commented on how pretty the view was facing back into the city and how pretty the sunsets were.
