    Yeah, I think it bounced back and gave NC a blow that no one was expecting at the end. I think everyone thought it had pretty much run its course by then.

    My friend has 40 trees down in their yard there. They couldn't even get out of their neighborhood this weekend due to downed trees.

    I'm super glad that asshole storm didn't loop back down here, and instead just died out in the Atlantic!

    I drove Friday to my daughter's in SC. I just moved to Onslow County in August. It looks like I'm stuck another night here cuz I have a section of 95 N that is closed. I just started new with job the county school district. I'm annoyed becuz they still haven't called off school for 2moro.

    Where are you at Deb?

    It took me almost 16 hours to get back to Sneads Ferry, NC. Normally it is a very simple 5 1/2 hour drive from SC. I don't think I have ever said, "FUCK!!", as much as I did yesterday. Every detour I was sent on was closed. We stopped after 8 hours to pee and there was no running water. We had to back track west 3 hours then head North and then sourheast. What a big pain in the ass, but I finally made it back home to the beach.

    Prayers to our Australian friends in the path of Cyclone Debbie. I've been thru more than a few hurricanes here, so I feel your anxiety. Stay safe!

    Look out you Aussies.

    Category 4 Cyclone Debbie to Smash Queensland Within Hours

    image: https://cdn.liveleak.com/80281E/ll_a...video_icon.jpg

    Severe Tropical Cyclone Debbie is over 900 km wide and the eye fluctuating at 50-75km wide, with speeds recorded at up to 270+km/h offshore, approx 10km/h short of a Category 5 cyclone.

    The cyclone is currently moving at approx 12km/h towards the Queensland coastline and expected to hit Midday QLD time. Hamilton Island is just off the coast of QLD and currently being hit by 180+km/h winds with the storm expected to intensify as it moves closer to the mainland.

    As the storm is moving slowly, towns are expected to be hit by intense winds for up to 8-10 hours at a time. Not only have shops been cleared of food, but bottle shops (liquor outlets) have been doing a roaring trade as Queenslanders buy up beer and spirits, many for "cyclone parties"

    The Bureau of Meteorology expects the storm to intensify and a tidal surge of 6-8 meters.

    It has been crappy all day here-one tornado watch after another, and we had a warning just now. KT, are you in the bad weather too? Is this essentially the bands from Cristobal?

    ETA: I turned the news on and they were just saying it is the outer bands of Cristobal, and we have another tornado headed our way.

    We've had torrential rains all week. It actually seems to have slowed down here today. Yesterday we had high winds and sideways rain. Stay safe.

    70 miles per hour winds, baseball sized hail a few miles from here Thursday. Busted up the roof at Sam's Club did lots of damage. We had the wind, but our hail was only marble sized, but enough to make a mess. Gearing up for another night of storms. And we don't even have a hurricane...

    If Rapid City, S.D. manages to see measurable snowfall on Labor Day, it'll be the first time in recorded history. We're flirting with the record books both Saturday and Monday - Saturday for record heat ��, Monday & Tuesday for record cold ��. Absolutely bonkers. #sdwx #wywx

    Thats crazy bipolar weather puzzld. If I lived there I'd have a migraine from the extreme change in temperature.

    Im going to South Carolina in less than 2 weeks. I really hope there isnt a hurricane there then.

    It was 85 here yesterday. I went jetskiing all day and forgot to put on sunscreen, so now I have a wicked sunburn. I try not to ever go now to places where it is snowing. But wait till hurricane season, then I will be bitching about the weather.

    God dammit I gotta clean off my car.

    I'm not shoveling the driveway. I have 4 wheel drive, I should be able to power through it.

    Next winter, after everyone gets the vaccine, all the snowbound MDSers can come down to my place and we'll all go jetskiing in January!

    Then we're going to BB73's house for Shakey's pizza!

    Oh no, that sucks. Do you have pets that rely on the fence being up to go outside?

    See, I would totally panic over something like this, but RBW would just get out there and fix the fence. She'd have it back up before I finished reading the Google reviews of fence-fixers for hire.

    Thank God I have no outside pets. I do have a stray kitty that hangs out but he seemed utterly unbothered by it. I was worried because it is against an alley. I did try to prop it back up but the rain and wind and splinters made it hard. Luckily my neighbor helped me out with getting it back up for now. It was so windy here, I even looked for witches shoes under my house.

    Where are you located? We had a really bad storm Tuesday night all through Wednesday. Our power at work was down until this morning, so I had 2 days off work!
