How's it going so far?
For some reason I had it in my mind only the beaches would get some appreciable rain. That booger is peeing all the way to Raleigh.

OK guys

Rt 12 road thru Hatteras is washed over from the ocean (last night) and today from the sound. Approx 5ft of water in some places.

I had wind gusts up to 70 mph lastnite and today until abt 11am. It took the water away from my place last nite but it's coming back in the creek as we speak because the eye is past us.

I'll know more about if I'll get flooded later today. I think I will be ok.

Hope everyone gets thru this ok.

Yea MJ for all the hype the TV was making out for Earl it was a dissappointment, not that I was hoping for damage but we went to extra cautions and the Noreasterner we had earlier this year was a lot worse.

Glad you guys didn't get much either MJ

I got twenty (yes I counted, 20) drops on my hood/windshield. So much for Earl... I've had flocks of Canadian Geese drop more "rain". And to put that into perspective, I live about 25 miles due west of NYC... Not that far from the coast when you get down to it. I was happy to be disappointed by Earl. Garagenc, I hope everything is ok with you??

Yep we just had some high wind gusts and some rain, I put thte V back in the water Saturday. My daughter and grand daughter were with us this weekend holiday and we just came in from going to and from the swimmin hole via the V.

My daughter took it out late Saturday and got tangled in a UNMARKED fishing net. Had to tow it in an Sunday Morning I cut enough net and rope to fill a 5gal bucket. It wrapped the rope so tight it crushed my zinc anode that is fwd of the fwd prop (volvo penta duo prop ). I had to pull both props off to clean the net and rope away.

I'll get a anode this week, but we run her today to go swimmin and she ran just like the ole girl she is.
