Just remember-all the varmints will retreat to higher ground as well. So ants and snakes may make a guest appearance at your place.

The latest GFS model (American) is just in.

Up to... 45 INCHES of rain over a portion of NC. Lots of areas in the 30" range.

This is basically a Category 2 storm with Category 5 levels of rain.

I'm afraid people are going to come back that have previously evacuated, now that the winds are down to Cat 2.

I bought two of these a few years back. They hold about 150 gallons of water in your bathtub.

A bit better at Pawleys but that whole area is over-run with tourons.
My brother hates to go anywhere because you just sit in bridge traffic.

Sure is beautiful though.

Looks like the best case scenario so far.

Not that it's a dry scenario mind you, but less "my roof is gone".

Overcast and windy here today. Not a peep from the sun.

Forecast for this weekend has now declined to 30mph winds and an inch or so of rain. We'll see.

I called my Stepdad today and they have had over 10" of rain. Unfortunately, the assclown that installed their bay window didn't have a clue on how flashing should be installed and they have a LOT of water coming in thru the ceiling of the dining room. They are doing fine though. My brother Matt and his wife Jacey have gotten less rain and are doing good too.

Received a few text messages from my Stepmom and other than excessive amount of rain, they are all fine. My nephews' trailer is holding up and the family is fine too.

I have a former coworker in western NC and him and his wife are doing well too. Lost electric for a bit but nothing major.

The remnants of Florence are supposed to head up here into PA. All we need is another 5" of rain by the END OF THE YEAR to beat the all time record for precipitation in a year.

edit-- corrected rainfall total. I heard him wrong on the phone due to a "fuzzy" connection

My daughter in Durham says she lost power for a few hours yesterday, but other than that, no real problems. Said there wasn't any real flooding either.

On the other hand, the piece of land we are looking at on High Rock Lake in Salisbury is probably under water now.

My brother in law in Charlotte are doing fine, as are my inlaws in Williamsburg VA, nothing crazy in VA.

Still no word on our rental property in Jacksonville NC, but that town got hit hard with floods...I'm not too optimistic.

Texted with my brother today ( SC ). He said they've had worse Nor'easters. They came out OK

My nephew Cody's trailer is completely ruined from flooding. Time to find a new home

We left Florida Sunday AM to NH. We followed the bitch all the way to NH. It took us three days to get here. The wind was not that bad but the rain was very heavy at times.
