Being in the river would not have been my first choice to try to get to the other side. Even being on the river or very near the river with eroding 'structures' would not have been my first choice. Nope. Not me.

CLEARWATER - Hurricane Ida is shaking up the conditions for boaters in the Gulf of Mexico and the Coast Guard is urging the public to monitor the weather before setting out on the water.
A Hudson man and his dog were rescued by helicopter about 12:50 p.m. from his 43-foot fishing boat today as seas reached 7 to 10 feet about 50 miles west of Clearwater in the Gulf of Mexico.
Gregory Lansier, 46, contacted the Coast Guard in St. Petersburg at 9:19 a.m. to report he was unable to return to port due to the weather, when winds reached 35 knots.
A small-craft advisory is expected to remain in effect for much of West Central Florida throughout the week.
Boaters are urged to use caution and monitor forecasts closely. The Coast Guard reminds residents that the adverse effects generated by a depression, storm, or hurricane can cover an area hundreds of miles wide.
While in the Northeast USA...it was something a little more than a snow storm.

Ininitially, the NWS was not willing to classify this as a tornado when reports first came in, no matter how many witnesses talked about seeing a tornado.
About 20 to 30 homes were damaged in the Roads End neighborhood of Lincoln City, along with a few cars, as a water spout quickly developed just offshore and then came onto land, creating havoc.
All this happened as major windstorms, massive waves and even lightning hit various parts of the Oregon coast, starting Wednesday and continuing through Saturday....
