Riding The Storm Out

PrintGood evening all......
I was all set for a week on the coast then a fella by the name of Earl thought different. As I watched the local news waiting for the Weather Channel to show up. My wife busied herself with the packing, we had been told to leave the island. I have lived in North Carolina for all my almost 45 years and have never fled a hurricane I did witness Hugo and the aftermath that followed, but never been told to evacuate. As I drove and filled in with the mass exodus my mind was a drift with thoughts of the storm and the omen it brought, not a omen of dread or doom but one of a positive note. There is another storm on the on way. I will take the omen of the pending Hurricane as one of future victories for our beloved Canes just as swift and destructive as Earl we will have a wining season and show the nay sayers what youth can bring to the table. It is a promise of things to come both good and bad, we will turn a few heads this year and will stick around in the post-season.
Peace

We wish you all the best – It looks like it won’t hit with full force except right at Cape Hatteras – hopefully the beach erosion won’t be too terrible north of there. Please post again when you are safe and settled. And let’s hope it’s a good sign for things to come for Carolina hockey (and nothing that can’t be fixed easily on the OBX).

Having front row seats to Earl, I can honestly say it has not lived up to its expectations. Which is a good thing, because we dodged a bullet with this one. Hopefully it isn’t a sign of things to come when the other Hurricane season begins.

Home sweet home
We made it home safely and all is well. My thoughts and prayers go out to all that have seen the storm and all that will.

Glad to know all of you here "locally are ok and to Crazychf…we’ll be praying and keeping “everything” crossed that Earl will keep heading east before he heads farther north !! and yes do keep us update as best you can…

If only the Hurricane were named Eric
Then we would certainly see this as a SIGN of good things to come.
maybe we should lobby NOAA to name future hurricanes ...

nantucket had a pretty wild night but we are okay
hurricanes force winds and rain some flooding
i want winter so there are no more weather hurricanes but the Carolina Hurricanes start playing hockey
Wow. I live in Kill Devil Hills. We didn’t have anything close to hurricane force winds. Lot’s of tropical storm winds though, and a ton of rain. Water on some streets was almost two feet deep, and it was all rainwater. I hope you guys faired as well as we did.
