Huzzzband got a new Flip video from tha wife (that’s me) for Christmas.

Minot Beach, Scituate, MA, New Year’s Weekend Storm 2010

Jan 02 2010 Published by under Minot Beach, Snow, storm


Waves are crashing over the seawall and making the coast roads in/out Minot Beach in Scituate flooded and impassable, and it happened quickly.

Some cars went down to the end of Gannet Road, got to Surfside where the water was piling up, and turned tail to go home.

It truly is an exercise in natural selection. “Hey Martha. Look at that wave.” Oopsie. Elmer is never heard from again!

It was snowing when I took this. The beach is about twenty feet down below the top of those rocks. The tide is high, the moon is nearly full, and the winds are whipping. There’s truly a storm on the coast tonight, for sure.
