Any weather reports from the Carolinas?
As usual the chuckleheads from the Weather Channel are standing out in the wind
 but what's the deal on the ground? You all good?

Retired, finally

Rained and blew like hell here for about 6 hours, but I was on the western edge of the storm. Probably worse to the east.

My wife's co-worker had his entire extended family (including his 7 kids, inlaws, and brother's family) in Myrtle Beach area over the weekend. They had a mandatory evacuation order, so they retreated about 2 hours inland to a block of hotel rooms.

I slept through the whole thing. No branches or leaves on the ground. No power loss which is unusual. We are about 20 mi SE of Raleigh (too close). Unlucky folks in the NE part of NC were hit by a tornado. 2 mobile home parks leveled. 1 dead 4 missing. Some mild flooding and trees down along path of storm. Mild compared to a full blown hurricane. But of course the media hypes it. Fear sells.

We got a boatload of rain and strong winds, but I was on the west side of the "eye", which passed to the east of me by five miles.
It is also a fast mover and is headed your way!

My brother / sister in-law live in Ocean Isle, but on the main land part. From their front porch its @ 200 yards to the inland waterway. Then about 1/2 mile further to the beach. He said that the it looked kinda rough eastward past the waterway, but where he is no real damage.
My sister/ her husband are vacationing in OBX - said it's ok. The really bad weather has rolled on by.

smoke is your friend in that deal
take a couple benadryl, drink a bunch of water, eat something and take some anti inflammatories no, seriously, at least take the anti inflammatories, benadryl would be better right when you got stung, which probably happens tomorrow, even if you smoke them out

It passed thru here with surprising speed. The wind as expected did more damage than the rain. But we are now being blessed with temps in the higher 60's and a nice breeze.

A reminder to all those not enduring it immediately:
A little extra paranoia in roof-foundation fasteners will probably go a long way. "There but for the grace go I"

You can use papaya juice too, if you have a papaya handy, proteolytic effect, with the venom being a protein.

I had 75 mph in out face in Margate. Knocked over the grill and toppled these 5 gal. Buckets, filled with 70 lbs or so of wet sand.
I’m waiting for that FEMA check to rebuild.
