Hurricane Debby….
Howdy Tarheels! I posted this on the Green Dragon site, but thought it appropriate here. The big news down our way is Hurricane Debby. It made landfall sometime last night or early this AM in the Florida panhandle as a Cat 1 hurricane. It has since been downgraded to a tropical storm, but it is slowing down and right now is dropping tons of rain on Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, with extensive flooding and power outages. It will be over top of North Carolina by Thursday and Friday, before moving up the coastline to New England. As of now, the predictors are predicting a lot of rain for the Piedmont to the coast. I spoke with “StopKiryasJoels” who is right in its path south of us, and they could be receiving up to 20” of rain in the next couple of days. I live more to the north and west of the State, and on somewhat higher ground, so we shouldn’t be shouldering the brunt of things, but like I said, east of us all the way to the NC coast we’ve got several folks living who could be in harm’s way. Keep everyone in this storm’s wake in your prayers. AND, ANY AND ALL AFFECTED BY THIS STORM, PLEASE POST HERE on this discussion when you can, and make yourselves known, how you are doing, and what’s happening in your area. Hunker down, batten the hatches, and above all, BE SAFE. This is a time we all need to be here for each other. Love y’all!

Howdy Dana! I’m getting drenched down here on the coast of Georgia. Winds aren’t bad. Just a lot of water and tree debris from rain.

Maybe a 1/4” tonight, 4”-6” tomorrow and the next day, then 2”-3” for a couple days. Probably fill some bags tommorow even though I don’t believe the Scare the shit out of everyone narrative being pumped to high heaven. Been busy getting tasks done. I’m know I’m gonna feel pretty dopey if I fill bags of sand unnecessarily but I may do it. It’s gonna be busy for a few days here. Need chain saw oil…cleaned the shop vac filter & did some diversion work.

Does the mean Hurricane Patrone and Quervo are finally all out to sea Dana?

Ask me Friday; that’s when it will be over now all of NC. I’ll ask you Saturday when we pass it off to NJ.
