Florence getting stronger; updated: WEAKER and WETTER!

[Chechem]

As bad as this storm could have been, I am thankful that it weakened before making landfall.  I still can't figure out why people refuse to evacuate when they are under a "mandatory" evacuation order.  I even saw an article about a guy that planned on "weathering" the storm on his boat in a harbor somewhere pretty close to where Florence was to come ashore... I can't help but wonder if they will find his body...

"PEOPLE, THEY'RE OVERRATED."

Boy, the flooding along the coast is catastrophic. The winds have kicked up here, but no rain yet. Somebody posted on FB the other day that this is like being stalked by a turtle. That's pretty accurate.

I just saw that we are "likely" to lose power here. I may not get to see the game tonight. 

My cousin, her husband and my aunt in Wilmington are all ok, apparently. The battery is dead on my cousin's phone that I was texting with yesterday, but my other cousin left and went to Charlotte. He reported last night that everybody was safe, but the rainfall totals were starting to cause flooding there. Don't know how bad yet. Prayers continue for them

Hope your folks in Wilmington are indeed okay.  Just hope this storm moves on so they can dry out and clean up.

As for you, hopefully the power will stay on until at least midnight.  This should be a fun game.

 

The winds are blowing I'm guessing, 20-25 MPH right now. If it doesn't get any worse, we'll probably be ok. With the storm continually weakening, maybe, just maybe........

I think the golf course may be closed as no one has passed by yet, or maybe everyone is being smart and staying home. Looks funny to not see back to back golfers on a Saturday morning.

Get your butt out there and play.  I'm expecting you to teach me the game again!

Ha! No stronger than I am off the tee, the ball would come back to my if the wind is in my face.

2 more deaths reported this morning.  Harker's Island is where the latest died.

On a good note, they said on TWC earlier that there was no flooding in Wilmington, except along the Cape Fear River.

Capt Obvious says to ask your cousin if he can charge his phone in his car.

Well we are praying for those lost and dead for the families. May prayers strengthen their hope. Just glad it went down as it did quickly before landfall. RTR!

Well, the rain part of the storm is almost here.

Be strong. 
Throw out some fertilizer.  Usually prevents rain for me.

Getting into the heavier stuff now. Heavy rain and windy conditions. The power just flickered, so it's probably just a matter of time. Fixing to go into eating mode.

You can always watch replay of the games on your phone.

Just stay safe.  No golf for you!
