Local photographer Matt Filar, a champion of both the Humboldt Crabs and Humboldt’s crabbers, captured these images of ships departing Trinidad Harbor this morning ahead of the tempestuous atmospheric river headed our way. 

They headed to the more protected marinas in Eureka to wait out the storm, which promises heavy rain and gusts up to 65 mph.

“They expect to return on Sunday,” Filar reports. “Don’t expect to see crab in the markets for a few days.”
