I haven't had a chance to read the new today. It's gonna loop and weaken before hitting the Bahamas around the middle of next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should only have about 40 mph winds but the problem is flooding. My area flooded last October and have barely recovered so with 8 to 12 inches of rain, we're bound to flood again, I'm sure the end of our road will flood again and will be trap for a few days No idea why this double quoted and my post went inside..good to see the site isn't fixed.

I just talked to one of my stores down there trying to do his payroll off a generator (was calling about network problems.... of course there is not internet when there is no power). 23 minutes ago, KingTacoMunster said: No idea why this double quoted and my post went inside..good to see the site isn't fixed. Hopefully it'll die down a bit and you guys don't get all that rain. I remember your pics from last year, so hopefully you don't have that again.

Tommy Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Wife and I drove 15 hours to get out of there last night. Florida plates jammed all the way up I75 north. Ended up in TN. Every last hotel in the state of GA was booked. We were one of the first to get evacuated due to our proximity to the coast...

marc32137 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Been broadcasting info pretty much nonstop since 7AM. Our four stations lost signal but our stream is still working. The worst part of the storm has passed here but there are other areas nearby that weren't so lucky like St. Augustine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc32137 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Power just came back at work. Haven't heard if it's back in my neighborhood or not, but we're still under curfew for another hour. Here's a pic that's going viral from Flagler Beach, which I live 5 miles from. This is A1A, which runs right along the Atlantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I live up above a lake that is an extension of the Ashley River, and it looks like the flooding will not be as bad for my neighbors that live behind me across the lake. Last year, I think in October, when SC had that "rope-like" band of pressure that shot through to the middle of the state, the flooding was terrible and those neighbors were flooded out of their homes and couldn't get back to their homes for like a week. There were also a few roads washed away. I may be judging too soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTacoMunster Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Glad to hear the Florida peeps here are ok, we just got a tornado alert that last the next 4 hours, the rain and wind is picking up and in about a hour or 2 will be in the think of it. There's already 6200 people without power in my county so fingers cross we don't lose it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutzonborglum Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) Spoiler Sitting here five blocks away from the ocean in N C, with no rain yet. Raleigh/Durham are getting pummelled right now, and it's going to roll through the outer banks tonight. I thought we were in the clear, but just got a text from my boss regarding the possibility of not working Monday. Nice.

marc32137 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) Drove by my home earlier today. There are 4 trees leaning on power lines on my street so it might be a while before power is restored. Power company expects the county to be back at 100% by tomorrow evening, but there are 48,000 homes still out.

deadreckoning Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 The water levels in eastern NC are getting close to flyod levels. Brutal. I lived in NC when Floyd and Dennis hit and had to drive from Raleigh to Morehead City in between storms. It was crazy. I hope everyone stays safe.

gutzonborglum Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I'm seeing pics from up and Down the beach and it looks like we got hammered. Flooding everywhere. Worst I've seen in my 10+ years here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Came back home this morning and took a nap in my own bed for the first time since Wednesday. And power finally came back on an hour ago. The cleanup efforts here have been pretty extraordinary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
