path of storm
Hey Fruitloop,
I actually know Johnston County - spent a week there a few years ago for a conference - Teacher Academy and a weekend in Selma last February!
My mom is at White Lake and I'm at the Outer Banks!!!!!
Hanna doesn't concern me too much...... Ike is another story entirely!!!!!!
Stay safe! I know we need the rain but not flooding!

Eyeballing this thing from CT, looks likes some wind and a whole heck of a lot of rain for me. Flood watch up as of 445 am. (thanks SO much for the noaa weather radio wake up. LOL) Hanna's satellite view on the weather channel is looking more impressive this am.
Oh Joy, Jim Cantore's at rodanthe on the outer banks. I'm surprised he crossed the bonner bridge for this one!

I got a bad feeling after lunch yesterday afternoon and decided to leave early. Rain wasn't supposed to arrive until around 4, but I didn't trust what the radio said vs what the sky looked like.
Stocked up last-minute stuff at BJ's (Dr Pepper and cat food), and it was raining when I came out. I raced home to get the ice chest out of the toolshed, afraid Sweet Baboo hadn't gotten to it yet.
Sweet Baboo had not gotten to it. He had also piled everything from the lawn and garden (tools, flower pots, etc) into the toolshed and I had to unpack it to get to the ice chests, cursing and griping the whole time. I made a complete ass of myself.
While I was unpacking the toolshed in the backyard, Sweet Baboo was unloading the generator he bought that afternoon. He walked around to ask me for help and saw me cussing and throwing things back out into the yard and told me to forget the ice chests.
I was not angry. I told him that there are few sights more erotic to a doomer woman than the sight of a man with a new generator and three cases of bottled water beside him.
Toucan Sam got our old generator, a 5,000 watt Coleman PowerMate, in the divorce (I traded it for the two cemetery plots - you know, the end prep). Sweet Baboo bought a tough, 7,000 watt, expensive Troy Bilt model. Love is definitely better the second time around.
We got a lot of rain and howling wind, but no damage. I'm more worried about Ike.

Gentle winds and rain...
Thank the Good Lord we had no damage here in central VA [just outside of Richmond,VA] @ 3:37pm 9-6-08...the rain is all but over now! Looks like we may have had a bit over 3" of very welcome rain. We had spent a couple of very busy days prepping for a larger weather event than just a tropical storm. We were very nervous about the possibility of Ike following up the same path as Hanna. Believe me I don't wish a hurricane like Ike on anyone;however, we are feeling relieved that Ike is for the time being staying to the southern tract.I sincerely hope everyone fared as well as we did. Take care. BREWER

Well, Gustave finally made it here and is giving us a gentle rain. I am letting HIM water the garden today, lol. I will go out in an hour or so if it doesn't get any worse and put the top down on the greenhouse.
The worst of it will come tonight I think. They are still predicting up to 4 inches of rain for us but no wind to speak of..YEAH !!!!
So, let it come. My garden will love a warm rain versus the cold hose, lol.

Hardly any wind here, at least yet. Just lots of rain for the last several hours. Now saying up to 7".
Many small streams expected to flood, but the big rivers like the Delaware should be OK. That is good news, the Delaware has had three "50 year floods" in the last few years. We sure don't need another one...

ROTFLMAO; Now that is something DH thinks that only I would say. How sexy is that! One of the few hero's left.

Been raining steadily for the past 3 hours now. Pretty hard rain. No let up so far.
I have to brave it soon to take the dog out to potty then I am heading to la la land. No wind or lightning. Just steady hard rain. I figure it will dump 3 or 4 inches if it keeps up like this. We needed a soaking but.......
