Myk Murphy:

according to the website, the live camera was knocked out. so the second pic with the flooding was taken at 10am this morning with a manual camera, before high tide even.
(Thu Sep 18, 2003 - 3:07:21 pm)

Heruka:
6-8 foot of flooding going on there today I bet. hmm.
(Thu Sep 18, 2003 - 3:09:23 pm)

Heruka:
sorry the second pic was taken at 11:45, but without checking the tide ranges, I think the tide peaks about 2.

Oriental Harbor North Carolina. flooding is just that, flooding. I used to know a guy who got flooded regularly as the river thawed during the January thaw, and he loved it. he paid off his house in five years with flood money. the Feds just hand him a check for damages occured during the flooding, and he would just do the work himself.
the serious damage to this hurricane seems minimal.

So what, you just sit inside.

Myk Murphy:
things might not be so bad here, bela, although it appears that we're going to get the northeast part of the 'cane, which is the biggest bitch slap it can give. the flooding will suck for folks near water, but i hope it's minimal. old town alexandria will probably get nasty flooding this weekend.

Myk Murphy:
we've got snacks, we'll park inside. i just spoke to my parents who live pretty close by, and their power has flickered a bit. mom worries, but she's always worrying. we won't be sleeping upstairs tonight, cuz of the massive trees towering over our house. we're cozying up in the basement. it's a finished part of the basement, so it's cool.

Myk Murphy:
as for me, i'll be monitoring the house tonight, so i don't expect much sleep. all the heavy stuff will be overnight. not very convenient.
(Thu Sep 18, 2003 - 3:32:21 pm)

Myk Murphy:

I should stock up on ice or something I guess.

Heruka:
is it good beer? Sam Adams? Guinness? Shipyard? I'd hate to have the authorities find your body floating in your flooded basement amongst a bunch of cans of Bush Light or Budweiser.
