For everyone else in the Carolinas...

[SunsetBengal]

We're about 15 miles SE of Raleigh, a good 100 mi. from where the storm made landfall. It's still raining and blowing, but our damages are pretty minor, compared to those closer to the eye. We got lucky this time, and only lost power for about 5 hrs. yesterday. I say lucky, as not far from here there is real devastation. Massive flooding, and widespread power outages that will last days and perhaps weeks in some places.
