but looks like a pretty long night for The Princess down in south FL.
She says that she's just glad she doesn't have to pick up pine cones and branches after it's over.
(not her first rodeo)

We have friends from Jacksonville bugging out and on their way here now. But I could possibly spare the time to swing by for a swig of that.

Meanwhile, The Weather Channel is actually doing programming like the pre-acquisition shows used to be. Focusing on Matthew, with some of the reporters that I remember. Must be quite significant to make them pre-empt those annoying reruns.

Have not yet determined the location of Jim Cantore....

All stay safe!

You, sir, are an evil man.

It's not that I *could not* make a detour, you know.

But I shall remain strong.

I haven't talked to drycab yet this morning but he should be fine. He's about 40 miles north us us but the worst of the storm is even farther north.
...like Charleston.
Hugo storm surge at Charleston was about 6 1/2 feet; Matthew could be 11.

Used to live in south FL so familiar with much of the area.

Hope that you are yours take care, and maybe celebrate tonight with decent vino.

Cheers!

Wanna guess where he's going?

The storm stayed 40 miles offshore, so they missed the brunt.

St. Augustine hasn't faired nearly as well. Loads of flooding from the storm surge. My niece (in Arizona) went to Flagler College, and she's been receiving loads of images of the flooded buildings of the college.

Not good.

A friend traveling today, to SC through ATL, has arrived on time in ATL with her connection schedule on time to SC. We will see, but I am glad for her that so far things have actually been going according to plan.

Status: offline 		Yesterday we drove to HRH's sister's house in Columbia (no more room at the inn in the mtns--the Schrader was tasty.
We drove home this morning before dawn so we could beat the traffic. Apparently we lost power for less than a day. We don't have cable cable or internet yet so I can't post pictures. Lots of branches and a handful of trees are down. We had no water intrusion. I may try to drive out to the beach tomorrow but I'm not sure I will be allowed. There's not much structural damage at our place. We have a mangled gutter over our front door. Some people lost screen doors/storm doors and fences. We haven't check on the sailboat yet but it should be fine. No school again tomorrow because many people are still trying to get home and many more are still without power. There is definitely some damage but this one was not in the same universe as Hugo, which still gives us the shakes 27 years later. Thanks to all for the thoughts and prayers.
