Gotta be careful with that. Wind is known to crush the entire building inside the tie-down straps.

Can’t lift that...Berns having a heck of a hit. Saw cry for help from people stuck in their attic.

Report:

Conditions continue to deteriorate, nearly 200000 without power....As of 2 a.m. EDT, Florence’s calm eye was located about 35 miles east of Wilmington, North Carolina, crawling west-northwestward at just 6 mph.

Extreme rainfall is already occurring in eastern North Carolina.

At least one site, located in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina and owned by the USGS, has received more than 20 inches of rainfall. A second observation station, located on Emerald Isle is not far behind.

I watched that thing rock and roll before it tilted over....have also seen roofs now gone off businesses. It’ll just get worse before this thing is over.
