So you get that cleaning bug before storms too, I see. It's not just me. Whew!
Me too!!!!!
Note: Tres came down this morning in North Raleigh - from the rain!!!!! No wind!!!! We will see a LOT more of that through the day today. Expect blocked roads, trees on houses.
OK - breeze now here.
I HATE THIS!
WRAL TV weather unfortunately is not as good as WPTF weather man Joe Bustardi - and he is NOT ON WPTF Radio now - they have a national program on. THIS IS REMINISCENT OF FRAN - I remember well listening to WPTF Radio their stupid program on history something or other when the power was going out and trees were thudding all around!!! Finally turned the radio to one of the FM Rock stations and the guy there did a terrific job.....DJ - I don't remember his name.....but he just stepped into the roll and did beautifully.
That huge band of wind/rain that you see on the radar - cannot help but push trees over. I have made my choice to stay put and pray the huge trees around me stay upright...but if they crash - so be it. Insurance, roof man, repair people = here we come!
Have the stuff might need downstairs in the interior closet and bath.
Did not manage to get extra water but I can walk for water if needed.
We are going to have power outages and we ARE going to have structural damage in this area and Crabtree Creek IS going to flood. That mall is closed except for Sears and Belks - but they will close soon I am sure.
Sorry - know this is too much for what may be a wimp of a situation - but Floyd was "nothing" too and knocked down a bunch of trees - including one here. I think WRAL is wrong.
