Dennis in 99' put 9 feet of water into little Washington. This will put 5 or so is my guess. Belhaven will flood badly as well

Gonna need to see some fresh convection soon or it might have peaked...at least temporarily.
Strongest gust yet just now definitely heard some snapped limbs

Stronger showers and storms out over the sounds pushing inland...not seeing a ton of rotation but if anything going to toss out a rogue tornado or two its that stuff....

really need to see one last big flare up right on the center....not sure it has time to do that, it will be onshore in 6-8 hrs probably.

Often they will tighten at landfall

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....

Our time with ophelia is almost up. Center will be east of us by 90 miles in a couple of hours after that we should see winds drop quickly
Where are you at now? Your tag still says Greenville

Had a decent gust just now with that band
NAM still showing 50+ wind gust here in the morning, just once I'd like to see the NAM wind gust forecast be right, just once.
