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.

Haha you didn’t miss much. The thunder and lightning was pretty cool I guess.

Bet this is worse on the eastern facing beaches but on Caswell beach which faces south today the SW winds on the back side were doing a number on the beaches.

How much higher is the surf if you had to guess?

Only 2 or 3 feet but it's a washing machine pounding the beaches.

Looks like Greenville has taken on some flooding issues @Downeastnc @WeatherNC

Greenville experiences Ophelia flooding and road closures throughout ECU game

Video and pictures sent from several parts of the city show flooding in many familiar areas of the city.

Just over 6” for the event, more than I was expecting, 4.84” today makes it the wettest day of the year so far and now over 10” for the month.

Currently right at 3". This morning I was at 1" but it has poured all day.

So, another NAM wind forecast bust! It ALWAYS forecasts higher winds than actually occur, for inland winds on tropical entities!
