    I definitely feel for those in the path as I was living on the island when IKE hit, it changed everything and leaves scars. I will save my end of the year donations for selected charities best fitting for the recovery for Matthew

    Hunker down and be safe

    Most importantly it looks you guys didn't take a direct hit. On the dirty side but as long as the eye stays off coast, it looks like you will salvage the great devastation this storm could cause.

    Yep, so far it hasn't made landfall and is staying off the coast. That's the good news, the bad news is.....I keep reading it may hook around and come back at Florida. Don't think I've ever seen a Hurricane do that before. Usually they just go up the coast and peter out.

    This is what happens when a Cat 3 hurricane hits land with a storm surge focused by a "punchbowl" of land masses.

    Hopefully these don't all post at max res.

    Cool pics....I guess you can say you've seen it all when you go downstairs to make a sandwich and a shark is swimming thru the kitchen. Dang man, that's some devastation.

    Lots of wind damage along the coast, but thankfully the full power of this one stayed at sea and did not make landfall. Continued prayers for those affected...

    I am seeing some micro-aggression bigotry here, that is unacceptable in our "safe-space" environment. chuckle. If you haven't kept up with our culture in the last few years you might not yet be aware that humor and scarcasm are now grounds for banishment if not forfieture of any assets you have.

    I am looking to return to Charleston, SC in the next day or so. I am hopeful Seabrook Island hasnt suffered too much flooding. But the power is still out and the island is still closed to USPS etc. Only been there 4 mos. Aye yie yie yie

    So did the hurricane give anyone something for free, perhaps like a new trampoline?
