    • The wetness.m1.s15 appears to show moisture collecting overnight that dried off at 9AM today (the 13th).  It would be nice if someone could confirm that there was dew and/or fog overnight.
    • The repositioned wetness.m2.s15 showed completely wet from 1700-2200 (local) yesterday and briefly from 0500-0600 today.  These times do not correlate very well with my dat("Tide") function.  I'll keep on watching these signals to see if I can build a relationship.
      Addendum: there is a relationship, but I needed to shift dat("Tide") later by about 2 hours.  In other words, it appears that the water level is a maximum/minimum at S15 about 1.8 hours later than the Lewes NOAA station.  Also, the S15 ground-level wetness sensor is completely covered when the NOAA station tide level is about 1.15m = 3.8' MLLW (mean low-low water level).  I don't know if this time shift is realistic.  I'm <pretty sure> I've dealt with time zones appropriately.
