FD or SS33 whats the report outta the beach area?

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.

That's usually the norm with surfers. They like to take advantage of the big waves prior to the storm rolling through. Most are smart enough to get out of dodge before it arrives though. I emphasize "most"....lol

Back in my surfing days i went out in some pretty nasty seas. I remember on day going out and the waves where hitting the top of the fishing piers. By the time we got out and realized how stupid it was and went back in we had drifted 2 1/2 miles down the beach. That was stupid.
