Hurricane Ian

I've been checking up on all my people around SC over the last 24 hours. Charleston is Ok, Orangeburg, Camden, Beaufort, etc. The storm ended up being more of a minor inconvenience. Partly cloudy and sunshine where I'm at currently.

Looks like the Cherry Grove and Pawleys Island pier are toast.

I'm asking around now about how Folly, Backman, Sol Legare, Mosquito and Edisto fared. I'll know here shortly.
 
I'm staying in Morehead city and was in Havelock most of the afternoon. Roads had a few inches of water and all the waterway boats were floating above the docks but not terrible. I think I drive down here thru the worst of it yesterday around lunch

I’ve got a neighbor in my cove who’s dock is hanging on by a thread. He’s got a pontoon tied to it that’s sitting half way in the rocks on the shoreline. It’s a weekend home. I don’t have his number or I’d let him know.
 
I called out from work cause the wife asked me, she works from home since the covid. We got alot of wind that got worse near the end. I was standing at the back door trying to make a video of the trees swaying back and forth when a gust about 50/60 mph hit and I heard a boom as this tree fell in the neighbors yard, weird that tree is down in the holler.
Then I found out I didn't make the video of it falling down and I was also pissed that no vid. of tree tops swirling around crazy, I could believe some of them didn't break or got blown down. Our power flickered many many times and I heard a transformer brrrrbbb a few times but our power stayed on. My folks live in cary and they lost power and they are still in the dark. I brought my generator to them this morning. They still don't have a estimate for when the power might be fixed.

🤔 so you're like 5 miles away?


We got some rain and a little wind. Not much, really. Certainly nothing I can't mow over.
 
We were down at Hilton Head Island for the week, but decided to play it safe and came home late Wednesday night instead of staying until Saturday morning.

3" of rain here in Stokeridge with lots of leaves and branches down. Luckily no trees down though, and no power loss
 
My parents went to MB Thursday and stayed in their motorhome at Apache Campground. Their site was maybe 25 yards from the sand dune, Mama said several times it felt like the wind would blow the motorhome over. But other than the end of the pier breaking off (again) the campground faired alright.

Rain and wind but nothing near the level of the pop-up storms this past summer. Lost power for 13 hours. Gave the genny a good reason to get some exercise.
 
My dad said he lost power for several hours but found out it had nothing to do with the storm. Some idiot managed to run off the road and destroy a power pole late last night near dad’s house. It’s on a straight section of road. It took some talent or alcohol to hit it.
 
I’ll get a head start on some fall leaf cleanup and that’s about it here in Creedmoor. Power flickered a few times is all. There were some outages around us. Headed to SwVA later today to ride fence lines and check for damage at the farm…and to make sure all my deer stands are still up 🤣

That one actually started out in his garage next to his Rolls Royce. There’s video of them floating in the garage before making their way outside.
 
Good here. Have some antenna repair to do, but nothing major. Was afraid it'd be much worse.
 
We had a rather large tree break and fall in the area WAY in the backyard so it didn't affect us at all. We had just put a new rain collector gutter on my building filling a 275 gallon tote. We had it completely empty on Thursday and now it has over 225 gallons in it. Bear in mind, that is only collecting rain from a 8'x20' roof. By my calculations, that's about 3" of rainfall in one day.
 
Just finished an inspection loop lap. A bunch of leaves, a few small limbs, but not a single tree down here. 👍
