Alright fellers, we made it. Not unscathed but made it. Most of everything is under water right now with more rain coming in tonight. I’ve been locked up her at the plant since Wednesday night. I should be able to leave by Thursday but as of right now all roads to or from my house have been destroyed. Will be a few days before I can report back.

Hope everyone else is doing well. Reb, she’s putting a lot of water down. Y’all stay safe.

I'm glad you're safe. That's what's most important.

Roads can be repaired.

Carpet can be replaced.

Glad you're OK.

Being a little further west of you, we've gotten some tapering light and heavy rain off the hurricane the last few days but nothing like what you guys have had to deal with. Glad you guys are ok.

I got nothing compared to y'all. About 7 inches in 24 hours was it. While that is a lot for hilly country and caused some localized flash flooding, y'all have feet of water and utter destruction. Hoping you get home soon. Be safe.

This is an awesome forum / community!
Much more respectable than places such as ARF 15.

My family and I evacuated and just got back.
Our area couldn't have been closer to things without suffering massive damage.
If it were 30 miles further north, we would have looked like New Bern, NC.

All USCG air assets are operating out of Air Station Elizabeth City, NC and are operating at max tempo.
Shallow water rescue continues to be our #1 priority and medium range surveillance air craft are being utilized to locate survivors.



Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers...

Good to have you check in safe.

Hope not too much structural damage or flooding

Phil. swamp if you need anything like TP, paper towels, wipes, canned goods or potable water I can try and meet you middle way sometime on Sunday. It's a 3.5 hour drive to Raleigh from me, 3 to Laurinburg. Just let me know. Not sure how cut off you boys are.

I live about 30 minutes south of Raleigh. If there is any help you need and I can give, let me know guys.

I'm in E-City, were totally good.
Thanks for the offer!


My office is in the background of this photo.

This forum / community is truly exceptional.
Like I said, we literally dodged a bullet.
This area would have looked exactly like New Bern if the storm was just a few more miles north.
We have the same terrain and water profile. (New Bern is about 1 1/2 hours SW of me.)

Glad to hear all is well. Kudos to the USCG. I don't think those folks get near enough credit for the work that they do.
