Flip on the news though and you would think the apocalypse is at hand... My brother in law just put meat on the grill in Apex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad everyone is OK. The most damage we ever got was not from a hurricane but “a little tropical storm” that saturated the ground so thoroughly (after an already wet spell) that 50+ foot pine tress were dropping all over. It was like trying to stand a pencil up in a cup of water, they just kept tipping and one landed on our family room fireplace. Shook the house like a bomb went off and I was worried about our foundation. I should have been worried we’d get screwed by the insurance company, because......

boyst Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 150 miles away. Not even anything to mark rainfall, yet. Just traces of mist here and there, but not even a sudden downpour or drizzle. And gentle 9 mph breezes. Tomorrow it'll rain but it'll be pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was really had and they weren't forced they would complain about not being evacuated. With humans today you are damned if you do and damned if you dont. The media suoerhypes everything for Ratings and their ego. up here in the winter and early spring they announce horrible freezing rain that will be deadly 25 times each year for the at most 2 days we get it, and we adjust what a great job, be totally wrong almost all the time and not a shred of accountability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBills808 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Folks around here are convinced the supermarkets are in cahoots w/ local news & television and radio stations. Oversell the incoming storm, get everybody to buy tons of canned food, bottled water, propane, candles, batteries, **** that just sits on most shelves as inventory. The stores make a killing off approaching hurricanes. 2 hours ago, Boyst62 said: About .3" of rain. Power was out 2 hours overnight. That's not unheard of on a regular occasion anyway.
