    Hehe, of course you would be thinkin' about me britches........you look at the radar here and it's nothing but a sea of green and yellow. Localized flooding has already started. So far, it's more of a rain event than anything. A couple of power glitches on the homes I toured today and the occasional heavy winds but other than that? Just a boat ton of rain.

    This morning, my wife commented that there was no real eye anymore. It looks like the hurricane is getting more organized now. As of right now, it looks like it will make landfall as a Cat 3. I fear for the big bend of Florida....heard they will have a 20 foot surge of water coming inland. Yowzers!

    Tomorrow morning, we will see (hopefully) just how bad it got tonight down there. There were rumors that some folks down there would be without power for not hours or days, but weeks.

    Well, it progressively got worse as time marched on (since my post at 5:44am) and we lost power about 2 hours ago, followed by a very large tree in the backyard that simply uprooted.

    It has calmed down a bit with the wind, seems like the worst is over. Friends in Greenville SC got hit hard.

    2 million people in the SE were without power (according to the news while we still had power) and all surrounding areas within a 20 mile span of me are without power as well.

    Sounds like a day where neighbors will be helping neighbors clean up the mess.

    We were lucky here. Storm center shifted to the east. No damage on our street. Rain has mostly moved on. Flooded creeks all around us.

    Wilmington NC.

    Tiny bit of rain and some STRONG wind gusts every once in a while.

    Our USA flag was getting old at 8 months old maybe and it got torn to shreds last night and today. We took it down an hour ago. I have 4 spares so a new one will be put back up tomorrow.

    20 mins. later...Now it's POURING rain!
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    You should have taken it down before the storm hit.

    We DO take it down for strong storm warnings 99% of the time. Wind chimes get taken down or rubber banded if the flag comes down.

    It wasn't that bad last night or early today. It was a weathered and faded flag. No tears though until today. It's now retired and a new flag is waving brightly now. I love it when a new flag gets put up. This symbol means so much to freedom around the world. The sacrifices that men and women make or made are unmeasurable.

    I guess I'll buy a solar or low-voltage light to shine on it at night.

    I don't know if you guys will see this until days later but SC got hit pretty bad. I am praying for more Southern states that you may not hear about for some time.

    This is the first I have been able to get on the internet since this morning when I posted around 5 or 6.

    I hear from friends down South that they got hit bad...even into KN and TN.

    Hearing about Asheville and Boone getting flooded is rare I think.

    The rainfall must've been horrendous up there.

    I heard a lot of places got hit hard too. This Hurricane was a strange powerful one that took a weird path. It pretty much missed us thank God. We did get 3/4" of an inch in 1/2 a day. There were some torrential rain bands here but they were short-lived. We never lost power here either.

    May God and rescue personnel angels help those affected elsewhere.

    We got well over a foot of rain. Folks in our area and to the west of me are in really bad shape. I am hearing horror stories from those South of us.

    One of my friends has a couple of crushed cars and a tree in and on the front of his house.

    The stories coming from Florida are just so sad to hear about. Communication is dismal and spotty at best.

    Cell phone towers are out, we have no power, water, internet (I am at a Lowes parking lot 15 miles away from home typing this) or cable. Thankfully, we do have a generator but we are bored to death.

    At least we still ha e our cars and house. Both made it through unscathed.

    And up next is Milton this one looks to be the biggest and badest of the year. Looks like this one will be devastating to the Tampa area which is still cleaning up from last storm

    Has anyone heard why it will go from a CAT 4, down to a CAT 3 right before landfall?

    Weather here has been freaking spectacular since Friday. We had some frost this morning, though -- 34 degrees when I got up this morning.
    Of course, next weekend's the big leaf peeper weekend up here, but this weekend was pretty darned good in the Upper Valley.

    I heard that wind shear as Milton approaches will weaken it somewhat. We can hope.
