The distraction is simply unbelievable... and the eye isn't even here yet.

Not asking for prayers... but please be careful fellas.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I have a beach house on the coast of South Carolina.. Something I learned a long time ago was to never take these things lightly. You never know when the one tree it drops in the whole county will be the one that goes through the roof of your house.

A couple of years ago Hurricane Michael came up through the Gulf, and did untold amounts of damage in Florida,Georgia, South and North Carolina. The storm surge from a nearly worn out tropical storm Michael put 3 feet of water in the first floor of my beach house. That was totally unexpected, by me, from a gulf hurricane that never came close to the Atlantic coast.

I've never wished these things on anyone, but I always hope and pray they stay away from landfall on the US. I never trust them until I see whats left of them up in the North Atlantic and all they have to blow around is icebergs.

Thats what I said, I can't even remember or pronounce these weird names. We calling this one the i storm.
The eye is supposed to come over us early tomorrow AM. Been through all kinds, this one don't look bad but I've been fooled before. We have one tree that could be a problem, I need to get somebody to take it down soon. Hope this storm don't do it for me.
Fugg all hurricanes, no matter the name.

Rain is just starting to come on pretty hard here in eastern NC.
I don't give a fat babys pecker about the rain, its wind taking out the power that really sucks.

Flo sure knocked us for a loop 2 years ago and she wasn't too breezy. Caused me to work 70-80 hrs for a good month with no overtime pay so I'd rather not experience that again.

This one looks pretty tame, fortunately.

Wind's whipping up pretty good here now, though nothing to worry about at present. Been raining most of the afternoon. High tide here's around 9:00 tonight, be interesting to see how it goes. They've predicted up to a 4 ft storm surge, that will come close to getting the back yard wet at high tide. I'd just as soon it doesn't.

Some news anchors and weather reporters have trouble pronouncing the name. Who comes up with such crap?

............That's what I was wondering. I've never even heard that name before. Do they just make chit up now? What's next after " I " on the hurricane name list? How about hurricane Jim for the next one.

Been changing handles on all of my rakes today... and oiling tines.

Nothing like the feel and balance of fresh hickory in your hands after a CAT 5.
