I really appreciate Bradford for loaning PD the trailer (and all the other guys who offered up). I actually did put the old V on blocks last Sunday so I could get the trailer to PD, but between obligations and Flo trying to fake us out by looking like she was going north, we decided to wait until after the storm.
Now the "experts" have decided that Flo will go south (although she seems to be trucking NW at 16 mph pretty steady) I was feeling uneasy thinking of the Pipe Dream falling victim.
Anyway, it has all worked out...thanks guys.

I thank you ALL! And I hope and pray that everyone in harm's way will get through this without loss of life or property.
I pray everyone stays safe. My bro in law is riding it out in Hampstead north of Wilmington, NC with some neighbors. Really hoping he comes out unscathed.

Feel bad for anyone north of Charleston in SC and anyone in NC.
Down here all is okay. Little rain yet and winds 15-20, although it could still pick up later today (there was just now a big gust), but nothing like north of here.

same here, just some rain and wind, not too bad. I've got a guy going by the place in Sneads Ferry tomorrow, I don't have a good feeling
Everything is good here. No issues, just some debris and little rotten tree fell into the driveway. Really happy it wasn't as bad as it could have been. My brother in law near Wilmington has a bunch of trees down but no flooding and his house is in good shape thanks to his pre-hurricane preparation. Can't wait to hear the stories he has to tell.
I believe yesterday his generator went out. He wasn't happy at all about that since the roads were blocked by fallen trees making it impossible to get out of his neighborhood.

Oz, had a freind to go by yesterday, water came within 6 inches of the floor of the house, we were spared and very blessed. Several people down the street weren't so lucky. All we have is a yard full of leaves and one tree down over our storage shed that was on its last leg anyways. Power came back on today at the house. I plan to go down next weekend and straighten everything out. the whole Sneads Ferry area was hit pretty hard, especially water front. We were very fortunate to not have any damage

Glad to hear that, spare!
Exactly. This was brutal for a lot of folks.
Wow, a close call there Spare. Doesn't get much closer than that.
