Hope you're battened down!
« on: September 12, 2018, 03:58:39 PM »
Dave, Ivy (and any other Carolinas residents)...  Good luck with the weather over the next days.  Looks like you're going to get a LOT of water dumped on you from Florence.

Wishing you all the best and keeping you in my thoughts.  Hope you have plenty of sandbags!

Good luck!

Hope everyone stays safe. Yeah either batten down the hatches or get out of the way. Lucky here that we never have to experience that kind of weather.

Thanks everyone, we will have the generators checked out and fired up today with plenty of gas. Looks like right now the path is almost directly over us, but we will not be getting it that bad like the coast. Hope everyone stays safe!

At least you are on the right (proper) side of it.  Keep a close eye on the dogs, they will let you know when to duck.

Does any one knows how the DDM crew is doing? Some of the recent pictures shows a lot of water 20 to 30 miles from the coast.
Hope they are doing well and any other member that happens to live in the area affected by the storm.

Just sent a text and got an immediate reply.  They are fine, just some wind and drizzle near them.   To the north and East it was a lot worse.

Thanks Critter!

Yeap, we really had no problems here at all, some gusts of wind Saturday night and just drizzle all day Sunday. We have some customers in Charlotte that lost power and received a bunch of rain and also some down along the coast that were a little south of the center of circulation that barely had any rain or wind. Obviously could have been a lot worse, the people in New Bern, NC seemed to have got the worst of it.

Thanks for thinking of us!
