With Earl heading up the coast, I headed to the beach to make sure everything was OK.
Tom was there, too, so we had breakfast together.
Various news outlets were in town to cover any calamities.
No one was allowed in the water that morning, and the life guards made sure of it.
Yes, the sea was angry that day.
Riley enjoyed the day sitting outside.
By the afternoon, preperations were being made to reopen the beaches.
And when the beaches re-opened….
The surfers were the first ones back in the water.
The waves from Hurricane Earl were big for Ocean City (The surfer is about 6 feet tall).
