We ended up being out of power for 9 days and I got to feeling like I was running the chainsaw in my sleep.

    I don't know... but I hope it is going to stay (turn) northeast of Raleigh. I don't care how much rain we get... it's that 24 to 36 hour high wind pounding that tears everything up so bad. One thing about it... we won't have too much longer before we will know exactly what the deal is.

    Praying for all you folks on the East Coast. This is going to be a devastating storm to say the least. I have been in 2 hurricanes but never one this large. Category 2 storms are not fun to ride out, but I had to because of my job. If I can help it, I'll never ride out another one!! I hope those that can evacuate will do just that. Florence is gonna be a force to be reckoned with later this week. Once again, prayers being sent up for yall.

    We were due to fly out to Seattle early. But my wife changed the flight to Tuesday. We'll just wait and see what kind of mess we will be dealing with at the house.

    You know how that little voice inside your head talks to you sometimes. Well this time I am gonna listen to that little voice and head for the hills!! My wife and I discussed it and thought it would be better to go rather than stay, so we packed up our stuff hooked up the boat and are going to her mothers back towards Hickory. It is sometimes better to be smart and alive rather be stupid and possibly dead. Wish all of you the best thru the storm.

    I am very familiar with that little voice. You are a smart man my brother. I am so glad you reconsidered that thing.
