Hurricane Earl

What did I have in common with Hurricane Earl? All three beaches I visited this past year were affected by the hurricane.

Of the three beaches, St. John experienced the strongest winds and most rain, and there was some damage on the island. Duck, North Carolina - on the Outer Banks - had rain, as well as some pretty bad wind and high waves, but not much damage was done. Fenwick Island, Delaware merely had some rain bands and gale force winds as a result of the hurricane passing by. It's kind of wild to hear about a hurricane affecting areas that I recently visited.
