Friend down in Charlotte says they've already cancelled school there on Monday, nuts.
Some high schools are being used as shelters and I would imagine that they will still be in use come Monday?

I didnt think of that, thank you.Some high schools are being used as shelters and I would imagine that they will still be in use come Monday?
Didnt help much. The wind is still blowing it over the dam at McGuireFew gusts here and there in Mooresville.
Duke dropped the lake a good 12+ inches in preparation.

The generator is leaking oil from somewhere, but not bad, and I can't tell where it's leaking, so I'll just keep a check on the oil level whenever we run it, and then see if I can figure it out after the storm has passed.
Power is still out. But I went and picked up a pizza.
Hooked up a bigger power inverter so the kids can watch TV, as they were getting restless using just laptop screens.
Figured out the oil leak on the generator – it was pouring out where the governor shaft goes into the crank case. Looked online and someone suggested clogged crankcase vent. Pulled off the rubber vent tube and blew through it, and something shot out. Doesn't seem to be leaking oil anymore!
Its been raining steadily here, with sticky warm tropical air that clogs the lungs and makes every goddamn insect soil their exo-skeletons with glee.
What are they saying about the roads? I don't know when I can return home...or which way I should go: I40 or thru SC I26, I-20, I95, 74-76

Power still out here. Running the generator to let the fridge cool back down. Hated to start it up for all the noise, but it didn't wake up the girls.
Weird that power is still out here - nothing really going on in terms of weather. My wife was told that the power company can't work on the issue if it's raining. Is that true? If so, no issues if they need to be safe. It would just help set our expectations for when they might get it fixed.
Since ours seems to be the only area around here without power, if it is not back on by mid morning, we'll go get some breakfast and try to find something to do away from the house. First-world problems.
Prayers for all those who actually have it rough form this storm!
Just had a friend comment on fb he went from statesville back to wilmington tonight down 40 with no issues but be prepared for power to be out in wilmington as it was pretty bad and be a while without it.
Reports on the local radio this morning have I40 flooded in both direction around the Warsaw area. Have a back up plan or two if you are going somewhere, especially if the route takes you anywhere near a river.
Nothing to report here yet, the occasional breeze and mist. I talked to a friend of mine in St. Pauls last night and he said they hadn't floated away yet but the surfing was good.
I suppose that different areas might play different, but generally no. Those guys will work in just about anything if it's something that can be repaired with field equipment, and they get real inventive. The one condition that will keep them on the ground is lightning. Up in a bucket during a lightning storm? Um, no.My wife was told that the power company can't work on the issue if it's raining. Is that true? If so, no issues if they need to be safe.
Was that the attack of a land shark?
Sounded like he wanted to say "We were taking on sniper fire"
linemen...They work in conditions no-one else does and with some extremely dangerous stuff.
