Storm Surge update

Thanks to Ben, who pointed me to a couple of good sites showing that today's high waters were partly a result of about a 0.6 m  surge:
One useful site is the CHS water levels site:

from which I generated this image of the anomaly for the last 60 days. You can see the last few days have been pretty high.
Ben also sent me a link to the NOOA storm surge site for Friday Harbor.

Thanks Ben!
