Hurricane Matthew

My wife and I were under a mandatory evacuation yesterday in Greenville by the tar river. Our street is probably under water by now. We're hoping it doesn't get in, but my landlord said during Floyd it had water inside. They're only calling for the river to be 3 ft below Floyd level in the next couple days. Wife is heartbroken and catching a cold. I'm exhausted and stressed. I'd like to move back to Charlotte anytime now.

Wilmington got almost completely spared by this thing... some trees and limbs and random power outages, but not much...  Carolina Beach got a lot of water, as did the Brunswick County Beaches.

Inland tho... damn.  Whiteville, Clinton, Elizabethtown, Fayetteville, holy crap... some of the pics I'm seeing are nuts.  Floyd level flooding and worse.

I told most of my friends in the upcoming days that this one looked a lot more like Floyd than Fran...expect lots of inland flooding.  Unfortunately I was correct.

Hell my power didn't even flicker.

    • I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.  
    • I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
    • The lack of production is especially surprising given how much effort the team put into coaxing the best from him.  In just six short years he’s had the opportunity to work with 3 different GMs, 7 different head coaches and 10 different starting quarterbacks.  There’s literally no excuse to be made that one of those combos didn’t work.  It might be time to look withIAN.
