LOL! They didn’t have those things when I was young. I jumped out of messed up aircraft!

I received a call from my power company, Duke Progress Energy, tonight saying there may be power outages here from Matthew. I am in the Raleigh, NC (central-Eastern section of NC) area. The call gave me a phone number for calling if I experience a power outage. I was surprised because our highest winds are supposed to be about 30-40 MPH at the most and then we are supposed to get about 4 inches of rain in our area based on the Euro model. Down East has a flash flood advisory up but not my county.
I guess they are just being cautious.
