[Thain]

I took my family to Raleigh but got word my fence is destroyed and tons of shingles off my room so I am assuming water damage will be an issue.

Hoping for the best for my boy, @Thain.

Barely anything has come my way. Coworkers keep IMing me to check in and I’m like, “It’s alllllll good still. Slight breeze, few drops of rain.” They must think our office is full of pansies for freaking out about the hurricane.

Well how's everyone holding up? I assume @deepdarkblue is gone for good. RIP

He has become one with his username.

Someone posted this image an hour or two ago. Durham has gotten pretty lucky so far...

I'm at Quail Roost on that map in Northern Durham County. So far, a bit breezy with off and on light to moderate rain. Lucky.

I've never seen so many giant hardwood trees fall over or snap off. I've got oaks laying all over the yard and in two places on my fence, neighbors almost all have big trees down .No electricity in the near future, either.

I just took a leisurely drive to the grocery store.

This storm is the weather version of Virginia basketball. Just bullshit, cowardly weather that won't hold up in the postseason.

Also, what the hell, Crazy Zack's doesn't exist anymore?

Northern OBX got off scott free. Also, where did the phrase "scott free" come from?

Durham got pounded last night, still getting pounded this morning.

Yeah, wasn’t a fan of my phone blowing up with tornado warnings at 5:30. Fair amount of flooding near my house. My next door neighbor has a lake in their yard now.

I was Ok until my generator shit the bed and I couldn't make coffee. Brutal.

Sounds like you need a pocket socket.

I was very disappointed by the link for the “pocket socket”

"Up to 10 watts"? Whew, feel the power! The only reason for that to exist is that using it gives people the illusion that they're doing something useful. Not necessarily a bad thing when you and everyone else in town are without power for 4 or 5 days.
I think our ancient ancestors must've slept a helluva lot.

I really want to see you try to run a coffee maker using that thing.

Today was really scary at times.

Oh, and water in the basement 2 days before inspection. Yay.
