In preparation for a projected six-foot storm surge on the evening's high tide, the Fox Point Hurricane Barrier was closed this morning. The barrier, built after the devastation of Hurricane Carol in 1954, has never been tested. No storm surge has threatened downcity Providence since that hurricane. Governor Chafee was most reassuring this morning when he stated, "I'm worried about where the water south of the barrier will go." A bit late to be worrying about that, Gov!
Post processing started with a brilliant warm filter in Topaz Adjust. I then adjusted the adaptive exposure and contrast sliders. A slight levels adjustment was added in PSE.
