Duke Power estimated 3 million would be affected. So 1 million ain't so bad.

Things are fine here, wind comes and goes but nothing serious. I think Flo shot it all on the coast.

No need to worry about me what with being so far from the action...its not even all that bad of a rainstorm really. Typically in a hurricane the rain feels like you're being pummeled with nails....this is actually quite pleasant.

I'm sure not everyone is as well off as I am currently. I feel bad for those folks, but the community comes together for stuff like this. Did anyone read about Waffle House and what they've done? Sent in "jump teams" to give local employees the time off to look after their homes and families and even provided shelter for a few people....what an awesome gesture, love me some Waffle House! Smothered, Covered, & Peppered if you know what I mean.
