Yow... Right now the surf, 4-7 foot, is rolling up the end of my street. For grins and giggles I went over to Conimicut Point where I dodged seaweed on the road to the point - it was a lot deeper than it looked - and saw the bay litterally lapping the foundation of a few houses. On the point, the waves are crashing on the grass at the the end of the parking lot, and the residual saltwater is in the parking lot. On the way back I figured it would be smarter to go the back way out. That water was even deeper on the northside as the storm surge is just filling it up. I saw one 4x4 truck with water almost over the headlights (and therefore the stock air intake) so I back tracked and went around again. Some brilliant fellow was contemplating taking his Lexus though there... On the way back I drove by a Swan swimming in the road...
