I lost some shingles from my roof, but luckily it's not supposed to rain this weekend. Power was out for 30 min one time, then about 1 hr. another time.

All in all, we were lucky. I'm trying to call my aunt in Atlantic, but I'm getting the "all circuits are busy". That area was one of the hardest hit. Atlantic, Sea Level, Cedar Island, Williston, Davis, Otway, Bettie, Marshallberg, etc. all had a lot of flooding.

My parents in Jacksonville are OK, though. No damage, and they didn't lose power at all.

Glad you're made it through the storm, wimpycat!

Calpernia has not checked in as of yet.

I feel like we dodged a bullet. I'm glad to hear it was not bad for you either.
I'm familiar with that area around Atlantic... hope it's not too bad there.

Glad to hear you're faring well.

Wimpycat - hopefully you'll be able to get that call through soon.

I told you yesterday that the shingles you saw flying or what have you were mine, lol. I was wrong, thankfully as it wasn't the roof itself causing our water damage. We had a band settle over us here in the Sandhills around 5 or 6 pm that Greg Fischel on WRAL called "out of the ordinary". Rain here of about 4 inches and some pretty impressive gusts but no major flooding or power outages. A few smaller hard wood trees down and several pine limbs down here and there. Water was pouring in in our living room from the ceiling and hubby and FIL had to go up during the worst here to cover it with plastic. Thankfully it wasn't the ( new ) roof. It was the vent thingy that comes out of the roof that goes to our wood heater.

I hope that all on the EC are faring well today and that they are all safe. Property can be replaced but people cannot and I am so thankful to God that the death toll was very low. Still, it is sad that anyone lost their lives. I pray for their families.
