Hey Lee, looks like we're gonna get hit pretty hard. I'm prepared as I can get, 60 gallons of gas for the three generators, two freezers FULL of vegtables,and all the hatches battened down. I've got plenty of plywood, tarpaper and tarps. We shutdown Nucor while ago and they told me not to come back to start it up till midday Sunday. My buddy's gonna ride it out at his house in Kitty Hawk, hope we all make it through this OK. Another close friend lives in Collington, I'm pretty sure he's gonna stay too. My wife and I took the V out this past Wednesday to the 17 bridge and caught big Whiteperch, Croakers, Catfish and some big crabs. Had a great time, hope to do it again soon. Best of luck to ALL you fellas in this storm!

don't know about a hurricane up north, but down here, the worst part is the day after, sooooo stinking hot. after the storm goes through, the air is just still & saturated.

best part is watching the power transformers blow as the wires arc.

i am more afraid of the tornado's in the feeder bands than the actual storm...

Yea C hope you do OK glad it has weakened but were still going to go thru the entire hurricane in lieu of the outskirts of one.
Were starting to get it now. Hurricane just made landfall at 7:30am at Wilmington. about 80 miles south of us right at 100mph winds.

Satellite went out, expecting the eye to be here about noon today. Rain started yesterday about 5pm and hasn't stopped yet. Expecting between 9-14 inches of rain.

Water in my creek is going out hope it stays that way.

We're having gusts now up to 70mph with sustained at 50mph.

I'll try to give reports as it get here until my internet goes out.
