OT: Hurricane Michael

[WreckingCrew]

What I found really odd is that the hurricane direct-hit Florida and Georgia, but NC had as many power outages reported as those 2 states combined (last I saw was 575k+)

No s*** guys, if you see that red underneath the tree, that’s the Take warning yard sign. F’ing Hurricane didn’t want any of that sign in my yard. Barely missed the house and near the couch where my little man was taking a nap. 3 major storms now and everytime it’s an oak or maple. The two pines in my front haven’t done anything.

All of the flooding and rain we already had, didn’t take much to make more trees drop

Glad nothing happens outside of that, neighbors had a tree fall on their house

You are absolutely right. I should have said eqidistant between the two. It feels like I am between them.

 

[geehaad]

It literally caused me to scratch my head, because I've drive through Franklinton so many times...I started to question my directional awareness.

Still no power going on 24hrs. 2.5 away. South durham here. N of Southpoint mall

 

[RibFrabcus]

We've had our power back since 4pm yesterday in Greensboro but every place around us still has no power. No internet either.

 

[MinJaBen]

We didn't lose any power in my part of Durm, but my kids are out of school because at least 10 of DPS buildings had no power as of 10pm last night.

 

[SweetStormRising]

The north half of our neighborhood lost power but we never even had a flicker. We are north of 540 between Six Forks and Creedmoor Rds. My kids go to charter schools so it was business as usual for us.

 

[AD Skinner]

Power out for about 24 hours now in our part of chapel hill. Trees down all over the neighborhhod but missed us thankfully

 

[Tryamw]

Got power back a while ago had a bunch to do.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Power still out for me. No estimate yet.

 

[Stickpucker]

Same here in New Bern. Starting to die down a bit but still getting some nice gusts. I drive a VW gti and the roads aren’t fun with all the tree limbs and sticks in the roads.

I always loved my sti in massive rain...took it like a champ.

Haven't lost power in Clayton but us Hicks have buried power lines. When I lived near Crabtree I would lose power even in heavy rain storms.

Oh my gti and BFG tires love the rain. The differential is absolutely amazing. The sticks and limbs in the road that wanted to poke holes in my radiator or oil pan on the other hand.

Mexico Beach, Florida

Hope the best for them.

 

[Socks]

We had a shit ton of rain and our door randomly blew open yesterday. We blamed the ghost, but we knew.

But seriously I can’t believe how destructive this one was. Mexico Beach is just f***ing gone.

Florence came on like a turtle but Michael was a deadly, destructive ninja asshole.

 

[RibFrabcus]

Duke power is saying power won't be fully restored in Greensboro until Tuesday night.

Duke power is saying power won't be fully restored in Greensboro until Tuesday night.

I just saw that. By the outage map they're estimating that time for almost everyone. I think this is a blanket estimate for now until they fully assess all these areas. I'm not hopeful it will be any sooner though.

Hopefully it’s like Scotty in Star Trek. Tell everyone it’ll take five days to fix, then they’ll be amazed and full of gratitude when you do it in three.

Alas this is Duke power we are talking about.
Good for kicking my power at least 12-15 times a year.

 

[The Faulker 27]

I broke down and bought a generator. Got internet, TV, fridge back up. I'm golden!

 

[AD Skinner]

Going on 48 hours no power here. Hasn't been too bad and has gotten us out of the house a lot more than usual trying to keep the little ones entertained. Probably going to miss the game tonight though which sucks
