Storm surge is the greatest threat from Hurricanes. Much greater threat than wind. The old saying is, run from the water, hide from the wind.

Picked up this pile from the front yard this morning. There’s twice as much in the back yard. More rain is inbound today.

First light assessment is okay. Lots of limbs and branches down. Gazebo went by by. No major damage. Neighbors west and south of here did not fare well. Storm surge over 8’ flooded many. Bridges are shut down this morning. We have already started our cleanup. By tomorrow we will be back in business. Others will need more time. Lots of debris for contractors to pick up. That will take weeks to happen. Too much for regular pickups to handle.

Glad you all came through okay Craig. Your new pup can chalk up her first hurricane. The reach of this storm was huge, would have covered the whole of England and Wales apparently. Looks like a lot of flooding and wind damage out there.

My gazebo flew away, into my neighbors back yard just a few minutes ago.

We rode out Cat 5 Hugo in North Charleston back in '89. No storm surge for us but the wind took off all the pines 40 feet above the ground like a chain saw. No power for nearly three weeks.
Praying for you folks down there.

Lucky for me, our home is high and dry. Storm surge poses no threat. The windfield here is protected as well. Suburbs where there are farms and open fields as well as coastal areas always suffer the worst. Thanks Jav

Looks like we have a big storm coming. Making preparations now. NOAA hasn't given it a name yet, but tropical force winds are a fairly high probability for my area right now early in the wee hours of Thursday morning. During the day while my daughter is at work, I'm on puppy-sitting duty. She's an energetic, sweet little thing.

The most common paint on these Porsche Carrera GTs seems to be either silver or black, so I didn't want that. Then I read this particular yellow was done by special order for this single Porsche at a customer request. I like the yellow as well.
The pup I bought for our youngest daughter, the 27-year-old who lives with us. The pups feel like another one of my children, maybe even like grandchildren. I think the older I get; I am becoming more attached to pets. It wasn't like that for me when I was a younger man. I never let myself become emotionally attached to pets. Today they give me quite a lot of joy for some reason I cannot explain. They are so innocent.

After giving the front body clip the enamel paint job, I put it in the dehydrator, set to a temperature of 122 degrees F for 24 hours. Then waited ten days before handling the painted piece, giving it plenty of time to cure. I don't want nasty fingerprints and prefer to err on the side of caution. The headlight lenses were cemented in, the headlamp buckets painted and cemented in place along with the air intake pieces and radiator. The front clip rests in place dry-fitted so to speak. It will actually be screwed into place in later stages of the build. Next stages include painting and installing the door jambs and door hinges. Then doors and inner door panels. It will be a slow process while I wait for enamel paint to cure and dry. Same paint process as described before.

We are getting clobbered with rain here in western NC. Yesterday we set a record with 4.1 inches. Drought, what drought. Biggest issue is some road cuts in US highways. Rainband from the northeast into Helene runs right over the top of Henderson County. This stuff will keep at it until Saturday. 😞

keep it safe the models show a windfield to the east that is quite large.The further the 75mph winds extend the bigger the fetch meaning surge that's why during Katrina the fetch went all the way to Mobile.Keep Safe!
