What was that you said? Party on the boat???

 

I've got the beer. Where are you guys??

 

Beer? Not sure if I have ever seen you drink anything but wine. Let me get a few things done around here and I'll come say hey and we'll throw a couple back.

 

Ron,

You seem to always be on your boat during these storms.

I'm jealous.

 

WTH?? I'm only 45mins from Wilmington and the sun is out right now...this better be the calm before the storm.. I heard Wilmy was getting hit with 60mph gusts....After 5 I'm gonna try and hit the beach

 

It's times like this that I'm glad I sold my place at Topsail.

 

Its 15:30 and Wilmy is pretty much flooded. Almost all major roads are closed and winds are picking up. I'm in the county Emergency Operations Center now, and we're getting staffed up for a long night.

 

Jacksonville is only dealing with light rain, no wind, there might be some standing water in some places but nothing else.

 

This just in:

"New Hanover EOC is GROUND ZERO for highest rainfall total thus far in this storm...6-8"...and there's more to come.....possibly 12" or more before it ends! The next big wave will be around 8:00 PM."

 

rain has just picked up here a bit, nothing crazy though.
