Storm Eunace  worst for 30 years??

Well it got a bit windier than normal but the media kept calling storm Eunace the biggest storm for 30 years. Totally over hyped it in my view. We had one in recent years that was much worse. I judge it by how much the sea comes into our town. Storms over the 23 years I have lived at Scilly have often topped our sea defences and ventured into the streets of Hugh town & Old Town but none of that happened with Eunace. Not long back we saw huge rollers hit our quay and curl over its whole length-so much so that if one had a mind to surf the wall one could try. The sea hardly splashed over it this time let alone come into the streets. The sea was dramatic under the strong winds but not really what we at Scilly would call a storm to beat all others. The media nowadays are such drama queens in everything they report on.  We had the strongest winds recorded out here than the whole of Cornwall.

Took Daisy my dog out in it and she wasn't that bothered by it at all. She disappeared down a rat hole pulled the whole nest out. By the time I got to her she had tore them all to pieces and was looking black as soot with all the earth on her fur and face..  I took her home and  gave her a shower and blow dry. Here she is looking all fluffy and cute again-like butter wouldnt melt!  She is standing there thinking she deserves a treat!! A very good dog on the whole but does she deserve one for the above? hmmm Im not so sure.
