Just under 300 people are without power in Tidewater, and 600+ in North Carolina. Lots of flooding, but all things considered, we got off pretty light. We have power, and I'm hoping poohbear_nc does.

Everything flooded yesterday - streets blocked off, parking lots became lakes, etc. We lost power during the night, but it's back on now. Still very gusty ... so there may be more outages today as trees continue to fall.

Sunny & cool & breezy today ... will venture out later to the grocery store.

WT Sharpe · 10-09-2016, 03:01 PM

Fallen trees, power outages, stalled cars everywhere. Otherwise the afternoon has turned out pretty good.

My mother in law just called. It freaked me out because she never calls anymore.

The town is a mess. They are okay but freaking out. Fayetteville has never flooded like this. There's have been several dam failures there. They are not stuck and have access to stores. My mother in law must be really scared to call. She said several of her friends homes have been flooded. I'm watching WRAL News. It looks horrible.

WRAL has the most comprehensive coverage of the ongoing flood situation. These floods have impacted many inland communities that had never experienced flooding at all, or just minor creek/stream risings.

It's just going to get worse downstream from Fayetteville as the central flood plains drain into the Neuse and Tar rivers.

It's just horrible. I told hubby his parents who have lived there over 50 years may need trauma counseling after this. He just rolled his eyes but the only flooding he had been in was here in January and some small flash floods in Tennessee. He holds no attachments to this area so it didn't really affect him and I grew up watching flooding so I'm just use to it but they have never been in such a situation. I'm worried about them

It's going to be warm here in St Louis today suppose get up to 81 that's unheard of for this time of year. It's 52F and cloudy now.

Sorry to hear that so many folks are still suffering the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew, etc.

Things have been pretty nice around here. We've had a few beautiful early autumn days with temps in the low to mid 60s, full sun, and moderate breezes. The dogwood and Virginia creeper have gone from green to various shades of red and some of the stronger breezes have brought light showers of leaves.

poohbear_nc · 10-12-2016, 08:50 PM

The Tar and Neuse rivers are still rising -- 38' and climbing -- might crest on Friday. The NC east coast is going to be inundated for weeks.

Any idea how the outer banks, like around Corolla, fared?

Blossom · 10-13-2016, 03:24 PM

My friend who lives on a island of NC out near the ocean has not been allowed to return yet.

Thanks - that's helpful to know.

Blossom · 10-13-2016, 03:44 PM

I haven't heard from my other who lives on the coast. I'm very concerned.

Hope everyone is ok from Matthew.
Yesterday was in the 90's here. Today we are at 56.

WT Sharpe · 10-14-2016, 08:57 PM

Matthew was a bit deceptive in my neck of the woods. It wasn't suppose to be very strong at all. This was blocking a road leading out of our neighborhood.

The power was out along that road, but our neighborhood wasn't affected.

There was lots of flooding with the accompanying stalled and abandoned vehicles.

Here's another overturned tree in Portsmouth's City Park. I didn't do more driving than necessary the day after the storm.

Big storm headed this way. It's the remnants of Typhoon Songda and will slam the Oregon and Washington coasts with rain, high waves, and hurricane force winds.

Puget Sound (where I live) won't be hit as hard, but we could still see winds gusting to 65 mph. We'll definitely see trees and power lines going down; hopefully not in my neighborhood. But if it happens, I have the house wired to a generator. My only concern is losing my net connection. If that happens, I have lots of music, audiobooks, and videos to keep me occupied.
