Hurricane Arthur

[Chimera]

WTF is this going on in CLT right now?

[Darth Biscuit]

No... The eye is almost due east of Wilmington right now about 20 miles offshore.

Pender and Onslow Counties are about to get lashed and it's going to landfall around Morehead or New Been I think... Maybe slightly north of that. Hatteras is probably going to get some surge.

[Chimera]

Yeah whatever we got looked like it came from the west. I was expecting a quick summer thunderstorm with a big build up and quick shower. But this was more rain than the Jacksonville game in 2011.

That poo turned sharply at the last second. I was a tad worried.

[WilmyWood]

I don't know where you Wilmington guys are located, but there was a tornado that touched down about a quarter mile from where I work and we had about 60 to 70 employees crammed up in our kitchen and work room area. That was about the most exciting part of the storm yesterday.

Never forget...

[Darth Biscuit]

Yep. My cleanup consisted of moving the lawn furniture back out of the garage and washing leaves off my truck...

Cookin is right... It turned pretty sharply just south of Bald Head and stayed completely offshore of our beaches.

Haven't heard how Hatteras faired but it shouldn't be too bad.

About the max wind we saw was around 50mph.

[ANV2011]

I live about 30 minutes east of Greenville on the pamlico sound, right on the water front

I'm considered essential personnel at my job so I have to be at work even if they have to send someone to pick me up haha, happened durning the snow storm this past winter.

I live on the Pamlico as well. It really didnt get as bad as we thought it would. What area do you live in?

[Kevin Greene]

So the golf courses are OK.

All is well.

[Rise of The Hive]

Thank goodness, it could have been worse.

After the snowplows came

[Anybodyhome]

At Ocean Isle we waited for a break in the rain as the bands rolled thru, went to the Wing and Fish Company in Shallotte, had some fish tacos and went to OIB pier to watch the sunset.

 

We were also hoping all the tourists would go total 'fraidy cat and leave... but they didn't. As much as all of us locals kept telling them "this was the big one" they didn't seem to believe us.

I have nothing of value to add.
