I used to love that...

We had to get everything we could into the motor pool and tie down what was still outside...

Not this time....

I'll never forget having to tie down a 2000 pound jersey barrier to the chain link fence so the barrier wouldn't blow away.

We have been getting rain since before 4am this morning and it's still falling non stop...

I'd have to guess we are in the 3-4" range by now atleast judging by the buckets that were empty yesterday in my truck.

We never got a drop.
A little breezy and 70*.
Sure was nice cutting grass today in less than 90*...

Pulled up all but one of my tomato plants and tilled that part of the garden and never broke a sweat...

Plenty of rain here, not even much wind. Not to bad of a storm...

Glad everybody is doing good, and that the storm hasn't panned out to be as bad as the weather guessers thought it was going to be.

It's rained here for the past 24 hours but has stopped now. Still very breezy out but I think it's all over.

Still raining/misting off and on here, seen a buddy of mine post about 9 last night he had 5+" of rain on his gauge, and it rained all night. We got some good gusts out of it but nothing to bad. I also saw a good bit of flooding happened in the AB/Morehead city area aswell as further down east.

Same thing here, still some wind, some small limbs and leaves on the ground.
No tree's on the truck, so that's a plus

Yikes!

Nothing to bad here, a lot of rain, and some more rain. Not much wind really. But a nice day out now to do some cleanup!

Your front porch is a great place to watch the storms from!

You already tilled them up? Mine are still producing. 1 every couple of days. It's enough to keep me in fresh tomatoes for lunch sandwiches!

Well with wind comes pine straw, if you have pine trees. And I *********** hate pine straw. have since I was little, always had way too many pine trees. My driveway is covered right now!

Well just loaded up one of the old mowers I've collected. My little shed is starting to look clean and organized (empty) the way I like it.

Bout to load up the old winch and some of the other junk from the garage and take it down to a friend in Raeford for parts and scrap metal, may stay for a few beers and some bbq. May get the Kayaks out this weekend at some point and get Mary out on the water.

You'll be safe and have some fun!
