FD or SS33 whats the report outta the beach area?[/quote]I'm still doing good. Power still on, winds/rain just like a strong T-storm. Per WVEC, one small tornado actually sighted at about 11am. Some trees down, not in my neighborhood though. Winds picking up a bit at 1pm.

FD is a little more inland from me and may have actually gotten more of the wind/rain. Some structural damage in Sandbridge (kind of a mini-OBX, oceanfront area).

You and NC Skin stay safe.

Some North Carolina idiot is now dead because he went driving during the storm.

33,000 residents without power here. Most ever for Greenville.

You're quite a lucky dude to still have power.

I still got power up here in NoVa, but the rain and the winds have picked up. I guess I'm pretty lucky, they're forecasting between 2-5 inches of rain and heavy winds for my area.

That's not bad. I've had a couple minor power outages, from what I'm hearing the brunt of the storm is expected to hit my area between midnight and 3 am.

Re: F Hurricanes...not the football team (but f them too)
 

My power has flickered a few times, but holding strong right now. Finger's crossed. I've got the next few days off. Would suck to be without power.

Re: F Hurricanes...not the football team (but f them too)
 

You guys are pretty well inland and the real mustard of the wind speed will be spent as it came over the coast before it got to you.......your lucky as some of those people will be out of power for some days to come as power companies must clear the lines of tree before the lines can be replaced and the power restored.
