I've been looking at the radar,,,,,Jays area and others are just getting pounded with rain. storm is crawling this is gonna do some serious damage to that coast
The WTC is reporting live from Wilmington,,,,,,they say top winds have hit 92 mph and that its getting pounded. I hope Jay and everyone there is hanging in it had to be a rough night. The eye or what is left of it is very close to his backyard.
Yes, that's why Ive been harping on about the flooding.... hopefully everything works out. I can see some trees coming down due to soft soil too
Guy on TV Broadcasting from Wilmington showed the Cape Fear River , he said that hours ago it was flowing North to South but showed it live just now and you literally see it flowing the opposite direction right now = its now South to North. I think Jay said he's a half Mile from Cape Fear River but not sure
I really hope those photos were pre-storm prep and he tried to waterproof his house the best he could....
No power for over 3 hours now Listening to radio there was a tornado signature 2 towns over heading my way One of the scariest moments of my adult like
I drove through one spawned by an outer feeder band of Irma last year while crossing the Matanzas inlet bridge.... 1 of 2 times in my life when I briefly thought I may die
Wilmington is continuing to get hit by incredibly heavy bands from the storm, which will be continuing for hours to come. Hope @jaywayne12 is doing okay. He said a couple of days ago that he is "a few miles from Wrightsville Beach," which is precisely where the storm made landfall.
if you guys have not seen this yet TWC should be ashamed what an embarrassment = https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2018...er-appearing-to-fake-extreme-wind-conditions/
LOL. I always thought the WC was bullshit, but this takes the cake. On a serious note, I'm gonna guess Jay will regret "toughing" this one out..... It's one thing to lose power, it's another to not have it when you cant open windows for days, can't grill your food in the freezer that's on it's way to spoiling... not to mention a more serious lack of toilet / utilities due to flood water. Hopefully he's ok. It's hard to gauge due to bullshit like the example above, but watching those orange bands right over that city last night doesnt look good. Hopefully his house doesnt flood. Frame house with vinyl siding would probably have to be stripped to the studs...... and that's not taking into consideration of the nastiness of what's actually in flood water. Unlike the storm surge, which will receed fairly quickly, Rain flood sticks around awhile. I don't know much about the area, but a quick look at some maps gave me a bad feeling... looks like HIGH flood potential to me (hopefully I'm wrong!) While it may not be directly from the storm surge, the surge prevents rainwater runoff into swollen rivers. This what happenned to alot of people here in Irma (that also flooded from Matthew)... several days of howling onshores pushed water into the inlets and had the intracoastal maxed out, so when the extreme rain started it had nowhere to go. If it does flood "Shockwave" is the disinfectant to buy. It's like $70 a gallon shipped, but hospital grade super industrial strength (like 3oz per gal). I sprayed and fogged my whole house with it after Matthew. At least my house is concrete block though. Good Luck Jay...
I spoke to him briefly and all was well but that was when it first hit I did not get any word yesterday I was hoping that he would be able to post , that said hopefully he is well and the damage if any is minimal ,,,post soon Batman !!!
I actually texted a few times with Jay today,,,,he's ok .I will let him come on here and give details as actually I don't have many I'm still waiting for him to send me some damn pictures . Im sure its a nightmare by him,, he said no power and yes that tree in front of his house went down but no one and nothing was hurt by it. Hang in there Jayster
Good to know. Pretty minor if that's all that happenned considering the circumstances. So no flooding? Hopefully he had plenty of supplies stocked up, along with propane and charcoal.... and ICE
Stinky I was mostly just going back and 4th with Jet game updates and will let him come on here and tell his story.
Fukin Morning weatherguys said no rain til tomorrow... Setting up to mow the lawn which is a fkin task and guess what? PSSSSSSHSHHHHHHH...yea. Fuk these guys man ..seriously. Now I have to plan another afternoon because fukers can't get 1 day right. arrrgh!! *Rant Ova*.... *maybe*
