Got home from Myrtle about 20 minutes ago. This is what it looked like this morning when I woke up, with some of the outer bands just beginning to roll in:
REALLY wish we didn't have to come back today...I would have loved to watch it pass by. It was strangely warm when we left around lunch time for being very cloudy. Wasn't overly windy, but windy enough and some thunderstorms were rolling in as we were leaving.

The first outer band just rolled through Cary about 15 minutes ago, now I have some consistent rain. My Jeep starter isn't bolted in, I plan on rolling it into the street when I have an extra set of hands, out of the way of all the trees in the yard. My neighborhood always takes a hard hit with the trees. I can't think of a hurricane or ice/snow storm that I haven't cleared at least one whole tree out of a yard or street here.

Made landfall on Cape Lookout around 7:30am. Doesn't look extremely terrible from the pictures and videos they've been broadcasting so far, but i'm sure that will change as more and more people can get out and survey the damage.

I think most of you will find this storm has little punch but the sustaind rain and wind doing the most damage.

Things were very calm here. Only small debris from the trees down, the little annoying stuff to pick up.
whatever

I'm about a mile or so from Sandbridge (mandatory evacuation there) in Va Beach. The power is flickering but haven't lost it for more than a minute at a time, we did have a tornado go by about three miles from here that took some roofs off some houses. The hurricane itself isn't bad here though just a lot of rain in the last hour and probably wont stop for a few more... After you've been through a few of these they kinda become more of an annoyance.

Power back on (off since about 7:30) and things are slowly subsiding. Downtown Norfolk is currently under water and the dunes were breached in West Ocean View, but so far no standing water here:laugh3:
I'm hitting the sack in a few minutes and planning to get up and hit the store in the early A.M.--
best of luck to those North of us-- batten down the hatches and follow authority recommendations regarding evacuations.

Was a windy day in Charlotte...and that's about it. Couple of sprinkles last night, but none of the bands really made it this far inland.
