Out riding around and taking my wife to get Starbucks (of course). Not seeing anything substantial around James City, some decently large branches broken off but no trees down yet. Power is out in most if not all of James City all the way out to Harris Teeter in Colors. Going to head downtown toward union to check out flooding. Tons of people out and about. Trying to post a few photos but app being a pain.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Getting close to the core so far it's pretty tame...40-45 mph type stuff

We had what seemed like hours of gusts well into the 40s and around 50 and we were never under any kind of tropical storm watches or warnings
Starting to feel tropical stormy out, pressure down to 992, rain taking on more of a sheet appearance coming down the street. Now under a FFW until noon, ditches are full and lots of ponding in the yard.

Remnant center on my door step
Great storm. It's a tropical storm but has a nor'easter feel to it (..at my location). currently it's 57 and breezy (to say the least). Haven't received as much rain as I thought. Currently a little over an inch, but there's still a few more bands to pass through. Looks like a potato soap day coming up.
Looks like the storm is moving/jogging N/NW. That "break" area should move right over you. Definitely step outside to see if the winds die down some.
Yep, nice little jog NW. That band has 1-3 inch rainfall rates and the HRRR/NAM still insist on some 50 mph wind gust even up here (lol). That won't happen here but could really pile up the rainfall totals in a couple of hours
Peak wind gust still 37 but it is getting very gusty out now, actually some of the best gust yet
Pretty good surge on the Pamlico at Washington going on right now. At 5’ Main Street is flooded and water is in homes at Wichards Beach.

It isnt....maybe a few gust 45-50 but that was about it...just went into the dry slot thankfully as I bet we had 4-6" of rain since midnight....

18 to 24 hours more over water and we would have had a different outcome.

Yeah me and the neighbors yard a bit flooded..
Ya'll all stay safe!!!!!!! Hopefully there won't be too much damage!
Flash flood warning just got extended from noon to 3pm. Just crossed the 5” mark for the event including 3.75” so far today, in a really god spot to be close to jackpot for amounts, I’ll post some pics once things settle down, the flooding outback is pretty impressive.
Pine Log branch which feeds in to Little Contentnea Creek a couple miles downstream from my house. Probably have to go back to Florence the last time I saw it this high. Cyprus I planted in the low ground I’m sure are loving it.

60 mph winds 3k above my head, peak gust 39. Bout to get brushed with what's left of western "eyewall". Great storm track if this thing had really ramped up
I stayed up till 4 am here on the beach in EI. I slept right through landfall and didn't even wake up. I'm disappointed in myself.
