Arthur pays a visit

[bruiser]

Arthur is paying us a visit. Not too bad here. Getting heavy rain thunderstorm from the outer bands. Some wind, nothing bad though. Friend of ours on the coast has been without power since around 7:30. Coast getting hit hard. Upgraded to Cat 2. Glad I'm not in rescue/recovery anymore or I'd be in a EOC or on the scene. Don't need these kind of fireworks.

Heading this way, we'll be asleep as it passes by.

No big trees to fall through the bedroom. :thumbup:

I don't think you'll feel much. I think the highest sustained winds have been around 60 mph onshore. Off shore 110 mph. I'm 2 hours inland by road and highest gust here was early this afternoon, 35 mph. Sustained has been 10. Had a gust about 15 minutes ago at 22. Most of the inland damage was from small tornadoes. All tornado warnings have been canceled in the area. Still under tornado watch in coastal counties. New Hanover county (Wilmington) has already closed their EOC.

I'm only 9-10 miles from the ocean. :yikes:


Our biggest worries are usually losing power in these things.

Having to set up the generator and all.

As of the 7:00 am reports...
It's already made it's turn, and is heading Northeast; out to sea... :thumbup:

 

[Wiredux]

All good no damage here. We were only 43 miles form the eye. Still windy but no more rain.

 

[Bob Denman]

Close enough; right Dan? :shocked:
Glad that you guys are all okay! :thumbup:
