I don't think my heart could handle it, at this age! Although cocktail/smoking hour will begin early today.

Glad you reminded me. I still have electric even though 200,000 around me are in the dark. Forget about a store being open. Even Walmart has been closed since yesterday at 4:30.

I was going on a bike trip this weekend. Everyone cancelled. I'm sure the hotel had no trouble filling the rooms. Yesterday would have been a comfortable ride up to the mountains. Florence made a left instead of a right and it would have been dry up there til Monday. Since I was coming back Sunday it would have been dry during the whole ride.

I had bought a bag of the finest in the land for the trip of which I shall partake at this moment.

Thanks UT!

I just received three more chapters of the book I'm proofreading, but I think I won't be working on it today. I've got till the 18th to return the proofed files, which should still be plenty of time to get it all done.

Party time!

I'll join you in spirit.

Well, there's almost constant updates on Tornado warnings in my area. I think I'll hang out in PA this week. I'm actually having a good time with my brother.

There was a big yellow ball of fire in the sky this evening. I had no idea what it was! (We've been clear of tornado warnings tonight thankfully!) Glad you're safe - if you want me to do a drive by check of your area, let me know - I'm happy to help.

I guess I was wrong the western side of NC isn't so dry after all. We are lucky to be on the hill as it is. You wouldn't know it by casual observation. Other than soggy ground we missed the flooding. It doesn't look like anyone will want to retire to NC anytime soon.

If Arizona upgrades to Death Valley 2.0 and Florida sinks into the ocean, they might reconsider.

Checking in after the storm:

@bbro - hope you decided to stay put - Brier Creek seemed to fare well (I live in Knightdale, drive through BC every day on my way to Morrisville for work - we should Cellar Coffee sometime!)

Here in Knightdale proper, we had 8.5 inches of rain over the storm event. (It started raining Friday, decided to end sometime today) A day or so of gusty winds, but nothing really sustained, and there was very little damage - only a few flickers of power loss, nothing more than 30 minutes at a time. Now, a little west of here - Chapel Hill, Durham, etc, there was a great deal of flooding from the rains flowing into the river there. Nothing at all like what's happening in the southeast part of the state.

The sun is out - but we're not done yet.

It rained enough here over the weekend to end the "no measurable precipitation" streak since April.

So, yay rain!

What a difference a continent makes. We're just watching the roads dissolve here under the pressure of springs and runoff.

Damn. I thought it rained everyday from 9 - 2 in Seattle. You guys must've been desiccated.
