Ed be safe in your neck of the woods

nicely said charlton and welcome.
have a roll of plastic on the back of my golf cart, but will look for more.
Heading to TSC when they open, if nothing there will go to Lowes.
That I dread. Yes, my next priority is to have roof repair materials ready to go.

65mph from NNE. Directly at front of house, best direction, since no large trees there except those dogwoods and they aren't that big.
does mean I have to make the furniture on the front porch more secure. Will move them all down to an alcove and bungee them all together.
but can't depend upon just one direction as storm moves, and hope once it stalls it's just a rain event.
But they show 50+ mph winds for a long time...

60F light rain falling,low 70's for high chance t storm tonight.

Good slow soaking rain over night sure help a lot.
Had the pleasure taking shower.bath tub drain a part to clean,not real fun job even w/2 kittens wanting to help.
E muffin feed little ones slow roll to work.

Enjoy the day all.

Guys we all see what’s coming, judicious preparation and most of all prayers, only one can stop this storm.

Based on the current forecast, inundation of 6 to 12 feet above ground level will be possible near and to the east of the
eye across the southern North Carolina coast...including the Pamlico
Sound, and tidal portions of rivers and streams. Significant storm surge flooding is expected over the northeastern North Carolina coast
with inundation of 4 to 8 feet above ground.

The current rainfall forecast indicates
widespread amounts of 15 to 20 inches with locally higher amounts up to
30 inches possible.

I might need a boat...well, my cab Kubota may just be the way to go.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 57° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 75° with sun in afternoon. Did not get anything done yesterday. But did get a good report from Dentist. Just a sensitive wisdom tooth that should have been pulled years ago. Doctor appointment this morning. Then peck away at the todo list.

Take a minute to remember 9/11.

Sure does not look good for those in path of Hurricane Florence. Please take precautions for your own safety. Anything else can be replaced. Prayers for all in its path.

Drew, you going to park tractor next to house incase you need it for evacuation.

charlton289, :welcome: to TBN Good Morning.

Good Morning All

You can cut the humidity with a knife this morning. Highs in the 80s, looks like fall arrives with Florence, highs late next week around 75 and lows below 60. I’m ready for that, just not the winter that follows.

Drew, I’m worried about you, I’m also worried about you guys in the likely flood areas. We look to be spared the worst here, just some strong NE wind and rain, coming in two batches, Friday night into Saturday, and Sunday night.

Ron, thanks for the 9/11 reminder, Ellen and I are going to a remembrance tonight over in Georgetown, DE.

Never Forget.

surprisingly easy run to Lowes and fully successful, scored four large tarps, decent quality and several types of roofing nails including the ones with big plastic caps on them to hold the tarps down. Have lots of duct tape and plastic sheeting. Have one full sheet of T-111 in barn.
Then....roofing contractor coming out at lunchtime to give me quote on new roof. Will thank him with cash for coming out so quickly, but this way I get in line...gotta think ahead. If what I think is going to happen does, as an old insurance agent..., this guy is going to be inundated with work, and if I have a hole in my roof, I sure want to be early in line.
and I picked up some more water and got a hurricane haircut to boot.
A fine morning. Now waiting on electrician at 10am.

Drew, you going to park tractor next to house incase you need it for evacuation.

now that's a good idea. Step right out the front porch into the cab...
Now there's a good reason to buy a new M10,000; so the floor is high enough in floods.
