We’ve surpassed the 3 inch mark
edit: not sure how long the power will stay on. The pines are really swaying as we’re gusting 30-40 according to my station.
1.36 so far in Granite Falls, NC. The winds have been shockingly strong as well. It started well ahead of schedule in our area so I think flooding will become a concern in the next few hours.
Should be just fine. Emerald Isle has easy access off of the island. When you said OBX, I was worried you were saying Okracoke or Hatteras - both of which fair poorly in even weaker storms.
