We just had a monstrous three day Nor'Easter pummel the coast of New England. Beach erosion, power outages, housed swallowed by the raging waves. Awesome and terrifying.

HA. I had to look up detritus to make sure it meant what I thought! Did you see the picture of the thousands of sea creatures that washed up? It was so sad. Actually I think they said hundreds and hundreds of thousands, mostly starfish. That must have been so weird to see all the destruction from the storm, John.

Tell me about it. Three people were killed here by wind related accidents. Good luck with your entry.
