Orion's Fight with Isaias

[Will Gilmore]

I thought I'd post a link to this story by Nate Bayreuther, the president of the Mariner Class Association.

"Within a half an hour, the wind had increased substantially and was gusting over 50 knots. I received a frantic call from my mother telling me ORION was dragging her mooring and was slowly heading for the beach. If she hit the rocks, it wouldn’t take long before the waves would pound and grind her into a pulp. My father was going down to the beach to see if there was anything he could do. My heart went into my throat and I jumped in my car."

A good tale. All's well that ends well. The North Fork of LI suffered a lot of downed trees and resultant power outages. As did much of LI. It will be a remembered storm maybe not for the intensity of wind but for the widespread damage it caused. The storm was moving so fast I have to think that NE quadrant was really nasty.
