Good morning!!!!

[newbury]

snuck out to pick okra and cukes, did ok despite the okra being beat down. It will probably keep producing horizontally.
got soaked on way in, another dumper, am just close enough to storm that it keeps throwing off bands of serious rain

How highs the water Drew?
They keep showing Washington, NC on NBC4 TV in Washington DC.

my neighbor the fireman said the River level was as high as the tops to the handrail on the walkway all the way along the harbor.
I'm going to drive down tomorrow to check it out, but with continuing rain, this is not a good situation
Feels like we need an ark

Well you take care. Maybe you can drive your Kubota or Massey to town, they have some ground clearance.

Drew, glad you 'weathered' the worst of the storm so far. Be careful, as you are aware, swift water can be deadly. Didn't look like you had anything blow away!

You guys near the storm take care, we got lucky, even the bands that got this far lost their moisture before they arrived. A little breezy but not really windy.
I mowed this afternoon, my lawn is very lush to say the least, 7 days and it was so thick it laid in clumps even though it wasn’t extremely tall.
Took this shot yesterday from the rear deck. Not sure you can see just how thick it is from a photo.

Good evening all. 71F this morning, humid, clear, calm wind. Wind became moderate with some gustiness, sky clouded up early afternoon, heavy downpour mid-afternoon (about .7 in), another downpour 7:30 PM, and high temp of 88F. bike ride this morning, worked on wood pile, most of the rest needs resplit or cut to length. Didn't get restarted on wood because of rain. Walked dog.
Drew sound like you are weathering well :cool2:
No British cars in my garage, never had the room for a spare spare car
prayers for all.

Looks like Drew will be in the clear soon. The eye hasn't moved very far since this afternoon. Fortunately he was on the outer bands. My SIL sourh of Durham is getting soaked good.

thanks for thinking of me guys. More rain today, but looks like worst of it has passed, middle of the State getting more heavy rain but looks to be slowly clearing here.
Going to make a run to food store this morning, after driving down town and seeing if I can get a picture.
Then expect to be out for hours, if not raining, raking and cleaning up leaf and stick mess.
Too wet to run tractor and wagon over lawns, will use UTV today, likely will hook up pull behind vac tomorrow and try to suck up all the leaves and debris that way.

This could have been much worse and sure has been for a lot of folks.
Up early, enjoying first cup of coffee, making lists of things to do.

Hope you all have a nice weekend. Now I know I will.

Glad to read your report, Drew.
Be safe out and about.
