The photos below are from Hurricane Isabel, which caused significant flooding to our garage (aka "JT's dive shop"). | |
The tide is already past the fence 3 hours before high tide. |
Still 2 hours before high tide and the water is around the garage. |
JT's scooters are ready to tow him. | Note the water level under the work bench. High tide is still over an hour away. |
The water is approaching the side door to the house. | Notice how only the top part of the chain link fence is showing behind the garage. |

standing at the edge of the water. See our neighbors "metal bucket"
floating behind the fence and how the river bank is no longer visible
behind the garage.
|
The scooters are fully covered. |
The water is getting higher in the work shop part of the garage. w | The other half of the garage. |
All of the patio furniture is in the garage. The "vacuum" is under water along with some other stuff. | High tide in the garage. |
Believe it or not, we had stacked items on top of the coolers, but the coolers floated up and everything fell off, yeah I know..... | High tide and the water is to the bottom step of the side door. Notice the water on the "other side" of the fence. It is about 2 1/2 feet high. |
The neighbors back yard is a river. | JT in his dry suit checking out the garage. |
JT and his scooter. | The water at high tide. |
The water from behind our house is now approaching the street in front of our house. | Never knew we would have a lake beside our house! |
The morning after...the yard is covered with branches. | The creek behind the house. |
The driveway which had been under water. | The front yard, there is a driveway under there somewhere. |
The main street was closed due to the numerous trees that were down. This one is around the corner from us. | The main street. |
The cleanup begins. | JT had to remove everything. |
The door that was on the side will be no more! | The dividing wall between the workshop and the storage part of the garage. |
Entering the new room from the storage side of the garage. | Standing by the door and looking towards the back of the garage. The new work table with a Heating and Cooling unit above. |
The tank bottles sit on a rubber matt. We painted the floor gray and put down two area rugs as well. | The "front end" of the garage now has a wall of cabinets (the door into the room is to the right in this photo). |
Looking from the doorway to the other side. The bathroom, located in the back corner is still under repair. | Looking from the table back to the door. |
Two months after the storm and we are back to normal. | The garage has new siding and note how both the side door and window are now gone. |
The front yard. | The back deck. |
