Now its off of Daytona Beach, still picking up speed - up to 8MPH now. Never really heard any wind here even after I went to sleep at about 1:30, even though we're still only slightly below peak wind even now at 30MPH - it was supposed to drop of quicker.

9:15 am, well past us, no real high winds, no flooding, no damage, just some small branches down, now all we have to worry about is grandkids on the outer banks in N.C.

Hope that danged old heathen heifer takes a hard starboard turn and burns out in the middle of the Atlantic. Jawja and the Carolinas don't need that mess crashing into them. All y'all stay safe and hope it misses y'all!

Hum, why didn't I think of that... Well we are as good to go as it gets.
Stay safe
We were ready for the worst and got hardly anything. Hoping for the same for you guys.
Me too. Glad you guys are Ok!
GunNut, hope you and that crazy Marine, Nutty Ned, and anyone else in the path don't get anything wind wise and that the rain isn't a flooding event. Heard Norfolk, VA is in for some heavy rains, so Vic and Larry are in that zone of way too much rainwater runoff. Now if that old heifer just HAS to come ashore, I recommend it squat over the Capitol Building.

Neduardo should be pretty good. Looks like the rain bands are dumping all they have pretty close to the shore. That's great because the folks inland usually take a beating with the flooding so it's a great thing this thing is just skirting the shore instead of shooting inland. We've had some interesting "bands" go through and some small local tornadoes but nothing of significance.

All is well in the home front. Winds were a little nasty last night but all that means is weekend cleanup. No damage anywhere I cam see and the only PIA is having to lug the freaking patio furniture outside again. Lost power overnight but the refrigerator/freezer(s) kept cold all night so all is good.

Having lived through Hurricane Andrew while working for the electric company and living in the 100% claims area, I can tell you the areas of the Bahamas that got it the worst just need to be emptied, dozed and rebuilt if they want to do this. There are 50,000 people that need housing, electricity and food. As for the USA, just like Hurricane Matthew, I consider it prayers answered. Glad everyone is OK.

Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.... now who's bringing the hot wings? :jester:
Well, T+ a week. That was uneventful and dumb. But it was safe and we were fortunate. I tended to a hurricane shelter for three days. My paycheck will make me grin, so I won't complain. Ha.

Hopefully it'll continue to follow the coast until it turns back out to the mid-atlantic and never make a landfall
