Gotcha... Storm seemed to stay more inland. Hope he didn't suffer too much damage - if any. Saw some awful pics from Dewey.

Here is a cool link from a storm back in the 60's.

power out twice today, and this windstorm has been described as the "little" one of two, the less little one to arrive tomorrow, the remnants of a super typhoon west of us. ferry runs canceled, floating bridges closed. talk of twenty five foot waves and 100 mph winds. Also reports of winds in Seattle at 60 mph plus. That's going to bring down some trees.

I have gassed up the car, genset on patio, two mostly full gas cans, food that can be cooked without electricity, two handles of bourbon, flashlights all around, half a cord of wood. I might go out and get some dvd from redbox, maybe not. Can't power the display and player from genset. phone charging no problemo. We might take a storm chasing trip on Saturday.

I am in SE NC. Maybe 30 minutes from Myrtle Beach. We only had 15.5" of rain. The power went off, but I have a generator. I am on the "hill". The water ran off to someone else's home. A fellow we know died in the flood. The water swept him off his feet and he was gone. The wind on the back side of the hurricane was the worst. Just a few miles from here the country side looks like Haiti. Anyone wants to send me relief money then I'll spend the hell out of it. Help Ed thread.

The bald eagle was named Matthew after the recent hurricane that tore through the Caribbean and southeastern United States.

(CNN) In the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew's path through Florida, it may have been the oddest call to 911 operators: a bald eagle had gotten stuck in the grille of a car. ...

I don't like cold, at all, for a lot of reasons. But yes, I live where the air hurts my face and thank my lucky snowflakes I don't have to deal with the other 3 pictures. Especially that nightmare-inducing spider. Is that even real?

No matter how shitty the weather gets this winter, I doubt you'll be hit by a duck.

The rain started to freeze about 6pm here. The storm is supposed to be a sonofabitch.
