As a former Mainlander I am well aware that conditions on the Bay can radically change. I picked the following observations off the NOAA website for Scholes on the 22nd. Between 13:52 and !5:52 note the dramatic drop in visibility from 5 miles to 0.5mi.

22 15:52 SE 8 0.50 Fog

22 14:52 E 7 0.50 Fog

22 13:52 E 6 5.00 Fog/Mist

Ain't that far from O and 42nd to Ofatts Bayou. Crossing the Causeway vis can get really hairy once you top out. Can believe 90' one place and 2000+ a short distance away.
