Is it going to go east of you?

Probably or right over me...depending on what is left of the center by then

This is how far and what direction it is from my house

Correlation coefficient useful to detect the eye. Watch for all the birds flying around in the center.

In New Bern to watch in-laws cat and button the place down. Nothing major here yet, some flooding down around Lawson’s Creek and Union Point. Winds have been mild at best but looks like we may have some coming as I think we may catch part of the “eye wall”. Going to ride around in a bit.

1.01 so far, peak wind gust 36. Great sleeping weather, seriously nothing like hearing a little wind and rainfall

 

[Stump]

Getting some stronger gusts now, guessing since the pressure change is happening quickly. The band that just went through did not have much in it. I’m in a bit of a sheltered area but can see trees in the distance that are not and I’d rough estimate 50mph tops. Prob getting a bit closer to 60 close to the river just due to open area.

2.68” so far, peak gust 44mph, temp 63.0, pressure 996 and dropping

 

[Downeastnc]

Not sure how much rain we have had but every ditch and catch basin was full on my way home....and looks like I am going to get another quick 1-3" with the core as it moves over me.

[Downeastnc]

Getting lively outside gusting into the 40's now gotta think there some 50-60 near the core. Better banding setting up now its on land lol.

Well I had no sooner than finished my last post when we had a good wave of winds hit. I’m eyeballing it here so sorry, but would say they were close to 65.
Knocked out power in this sub-division in James City.

In-laws were supposed to fly into New Bern today at 2pm, I am pretty sure that’s not happening.
