Wind here is about 8mph, sky looks dark, light rain... from the radar, it looks like its not hitting us, but Ive been expecting the outer band to be over head by now! Will have to wait and see. Were not in the clear yet.
Looks like FL and SC are in the clear now, NC is getting hammered, parts of E VA. SWVA, not so much right yet...

South Carolina just lost a few piers. Wooden ones, not concrete but still.

Well, I did get to talk to her yesterday right around the time it was passing by. Got a better perspective on her location and who they were with. Turns out she's right near I-95 (that's far enough inland) right there in the "retired golfers community" with all the LEOs they have a Op center set up there. So I guess they're GTG. (started this yesterday) Anyway now I'm just waiting on "madame butterfly" to call me and let me know they are "GTG" and on their way back to the homestead.

My daughter's home in St Augustine is 4 miles from the beach. Post hurricane survey revealed she will need to remove 1 tree which is leaning towards the house. No other issues. The southern tier of the east coast was lucky in that the hurricane remained out at sea as long as it did. However, there was still more then enough damage and life lost due to wind and water damage. There will be plenty of "lessons learned" from this storm.The evacuations were well warranted, had the storm run just 10 miles closer to the coast, we'd be looking at a whole new dynamic.

If you see me or hear me coming, I'm not doing my job.
GTG, and on their way back was told she'd call when she got home...............yeeeah. This kid.

Call, call???? Don't hold your breath my daughter went back to college two weeks ago and said she would call when she got there. Must of been a long trip because she has not called yet............

good read - posting today at SurvivalBlog from a Storm Matthew prepper - kind of an "after action" report - great relevance for all kinds of SHTFs besides hurricanes ....

OK, "madame Butterfly" has landed. Kid finally called, she's GTG, said she had a blast. Well isn't that just great! (sarcasm) She said the power flickered twice, once during the competition and another time during dinner. Competition over and then they came home. Most of the judges bailed on them, but they continued on.........well hey, at least they had fun. Everyone had fun and made it home safe and has a whole list of "what ifs" now. Lessons were learned. Dad happy, daughter........well daughter still daughter.
So is the life of a parent, then there are those that are parents and don't give two shits about their offspring.
AND WE PAY FOR IT! Save it for another day, "Here's to the parents, damn few left!"
Be safe.............the night is your friend.
