Yep, no power here in central NC, lots of trees down. Not much rain, mainly wind. Lot of limbs down in the yard here in Durham, but we've got power. Had a couple of flickers this afternoon, but all in all, we got really lucky.

14 hours no power so far. It's 75F and sunny so I grilled the frankfurters I had in the fridge before things go bad. There's 7 to a pack So can only eat 3.5. I have no refrigerator without power but eating as many as I can is better than wasting them all, right? Hebrew Nationals?

I remember after Hurricane Fran hit NC in 1996, my parents were without power at their house in Raleigh for 2 weeks. Their neighborhood looked insane.

I am surprised you don't have a generator for backup. Specialty with all the hurricanes! You could have something rigged up in an hour I am sure!

We don't usually get a lot of hurricanes/tropical storms, but this year we've had 3 hurricanes hit the gulf and come up through here as strong tropical storms when we usually get maybe one every 5 years. Since we have the largest tree canopy of any major US city, we get a lot of downed pines and old hardwoods but since the ground is so soggy this year this last storm brought a lot more trees down than usual. Tornado season usually doesn't even cause this much damage!

We've got a lot of rainfall and leaves down here in Asheville but we are so far inland the system is pretty weak by the time it gets up here.
Glad you've got it sort of under control at least. I am eating hot dogs too. I think if someone could run a political campaign based on Corn Dogs And Beer, that would be a pretty good platform to win an election.

60 hours! They've gone from "definitely done by 2pm" to "unknown: re-evaluating conditions".
