    And CNU is roughly 30 feet above sea level too. They should be safe from any surge, but might see some local flooding.

    Yeah, I already told the kid to just make sure he’s stocked in food and spend the weekend in his dorm/apartment. His girl lives off campus in a 1 story house that has me a little concerned about localized flooding. No sump-pumps so I advised her to just get everything (especially electronics and power cables) off the floor and to spend the weekend at Luke’s…

        Seriously, everybody stay safe.

        If I could, I'd take the hit for you. We've only had about an inch and a half in the last 9 weeks...

              All good here. Rain coming down pretty good right now and was quite the windy night but still have power and no major limbs or trees down. Should be through by this evening.

                  BTW, folks, there's another disturbance in the African Train and it looks like it will make cyclone status in the next 24 hours. It's way out there and will be traveling West for a couple of days before turning NW.

                  Y'all might get another one...

                    No wind, mostly nothingburger. Town's flooding. (It always floods though.)

                      We’re still not seeing the worst of it. The eye is still somewhere near Wilmington, NC, I believe. The weird thing is it’s cutting a little more inland. Luke and @Copper are to the East of the main line of the storm. Richmond and DC are directly in the path, but by the time it gets here it will be a depression and not a full blown storm.

                          I’m in Smithfield about 10min. or so from Copper. Spoke too soon on the power. Been out now for about an hour. Getting bands of wind/rain with lulls in between but not too bad.

                              When BIL built his new home in Florida, he transitioned from the portable generator he had In Jacksonville to a propane whole-house unit on the new home.

                                Yes that is definitely on Mark's wish list. Power was down for about an hour. All back up now and no major issues, looks like the worst is past, moving a bit further west of us, still a few remnants on the radar but now I it looks like the majority of the bands are heading Richmond way.

                                  Luke is being a smart ass sending us gideos of the wet driveway at his GF’s and talking about the tremendous flooding. He points out a puddle and states “that’s standing water… Dad told me not to drive through standing water…”

                                  Is 21 too old for corporal punishment?
