3k without power in NC already. Doubt there will be much structural damage but long duration, decent rainfall and decent gust probably gonna be a good number of power outages. More than a nuisance event yet not that big of a deal either kinda situation

Approaching 10K with about 12% of Lenoir county now in the dark. Seems like every time someone spits on the ground Duke Energy goes down.

Interesting, I believe there have already been gust stronger than any the HRRR shows. Maybe I'm being a weather nerd but I think the HRRR might be a little underdone on those gust

Yeah its hard to say what to expect later when the center is sitting over the south central coastal plains...I think Topsail to Kinston to Wilson to your back yard might be the center track if it stays as far west as it appears to be....hard to imagine only gusting into the 30's, especially since we are pushing 40 already now with the center 200 miles south of us.

Well considering we just had a gust to 30 here, doubt we stay below 40 when this thing comes inland but we shall see

This gust map i posted from the 12z euro seems pretty accurate

As these heavier showers roll in the winds here have picked up again....probably getting our first gust into the 40's...usually when I can sit here at my PC and hear the wind in the stand of huge pine trees across the road I know things are getting 40+.

The real part that sucks though is I got to work 3rd shift tonight and work has not called it off so I got to work 11pm to 7am....
