I'm in Charleston.

We all know our luck with Storms.

Sticking around, battening the hatches. Seeing how we do. Stayed thru Irma. My parents have stayed thru Hugo on up. I'd rather be here if a problem arises with the house to catch it.

I hear ya man. Its always a difficult decision on leaving your home to evacuate to the unknown or hunker down and hope for the best.

I'm in Blythewood and have PLENTY of room out here if you or any of the others out there need a place to get to if things go tits up.

I’m in Raleigh and the gas stations and grocery stores are picked dry. The coast is already seeing flooding in the outer banks.

I had awesome tickets to the WVU vs NCSU game that looks to be cancelled.

I JUST finished the last of the Harvey repairs in my rental. We stayed through it and definitely won’t be doing that again. My tenants used a blow-up boat to get their kids out of the house and neighborhood. I feel bad about it because I told them not to worry since the house hadn’t flooded in the 40 years since it had been built. Even during Allison and the tax day floods a couple years ago.

These storms that stall over an area for awhile are nothing to mess with.

Don't feel bad, no one knew the amount of rain that Harvey would dump. It was the largest rain event in US history.

Fun Fact: Lake Travis is an 18,930 acre lake that is up to 210 feet deep. Harvey rained enough to fill that lake from empty. 73 times. That's a lot of water folks.

Sitting with Levi in the best lab in the building is my favorite hour of every day. He (and his supervising professor-who has done everything in his power to keep his name off of the interwebz (minus published papers) so I won't disclose his name) are geniuses when it comes to TCs. I can't emphasize this enough, THEY ARE WIZARDS.

The only way that anyone on the planet will find better information regarding Tropical Cyclones (including Pacific Typhoons) is if they have eyes and ears inside the walls of this building....

I've said it once, I'll say it a million times...Levi is going to end up running this place in a few decades.

Here's his Tidbit for tonight.

Everybody be safe out there and I hope things go well. My former boss (retired) lives in Spring, TX and got flooded out. He just got back into his house a few weeks ago. They were lucky and had flood insurance, even though they thought they were well outside any flood zone. I can't imagine what 30" of rain can do. Back in 2013 we had a major flood here and we got 10-12" in the mountain area west of Calgary. At one point, the Bow River which runs through Calgary was flowing more water than Niagara Falls. With high tides, storm surge, and the already saturated ground from all the previous rainfall, this is likely to be catastrophic.

Glad to see the winds died down some more. Hopefully the high pressure doesn't stall it as much as expected.
