Ander Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Took a nice walk around my neighborhood in the Southpoint area of Durham, about 12 miles from RDU airport. Breezy, fast moving clouds, no rain but it has sprinkled off and on this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 At work in Raleigh (Capital Blvd) and the power keeps breaking. It's been a long week for us (NCDOT/IT) preparing for this storm. So much work, I can't enjoy tracking the storm; which for us is half the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCsandhills Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 girlfriend's coworkers somewhere in Raleigh have lost power, apparently. We are in midtown Raleigh right behind Duke Raleigh and still have power. A few gusty gusts here and there but nothing significant so far. Although there is lots of branches all over the yard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangeburgwx Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 17 sustained, highest gust I've had so far is 31 about 3 hours ago. Heavy, thick dark grey clouds and had a fizzle drizzle about 15 minutes ago while I was making a milk and bread run for a neighbor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragtop50 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Getting some strong and more frequent gusts here just north of Fayetteville as we get on the north side of the storm. Been without power since 1 a.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a person by milk prior to experiencing the effects of a hurricane? If the power goes out, the milk will spoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys must really like your milk, then. I think I can do without for a few days, if needed. I'd rather load up on other beverages and snacks instead of bread and milk. I've never understood the fascination with these two products for winter storm prep either. Hurricane prepping with these seems even more nonsensical.

calculus1 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 ^I wonder if the color-coding in Wake county is a function of greater population density rather than worse conditions. If people live closer together in Wake County than, say, Johnston County, then the same geographically-sized area in Wake would affect many more people than that same-sized area would in Johnston. However, the red shading for Carteret County probably means that literally everyone (~70K people) is without power there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcwahoo Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Interestingly enough the weather station at the Bald Head Island conservancy seems to indicate the island really got spared here. Highest wind gust so far is 62mph. About 5.7 inches of rain. The track of the storm, pushing right front quadrant way north, then coming inland at Wrightsville and jogging west before the eye got to Bald Head, may have saved the place a lot of damage. Hard to know for sure as no one is there right now, and will take a few days to get a good look but may be some good news for an area many thought might really get hit hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regan Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Really windy in west Raleigh. Power flickers. I’m sure we will lose it at some point. Yards are littered. Things are hitting the roof.

FallsLake Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 This is what you call a slow destruction. No quick storm that comes in does damage and then leaves. This has a storm that continues to rain with wind squalls; which then start to drop trees one by one. After some time you go from a few folks without power to many folks without power. Currently heavy rain / windy, with power fluctuations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
