Just curious how the members down east weatherd Hanna. I have not seen any news today and I dont know if Hanna caused much damage, so was wandering how you came through. We lost power here for a couple of hours and had just shy of 3 inches in the rain guage this morning.

Sound off and let us know if all is ok.

It appears that we on Lake Gaston, just below the Virginia line fared very well, lots of rain and very little wind damage. I am sure the low lying areas are flooding.

We got about 2 1/2" of rain and some wind, not bad at all. I had one screen to blow out, so we were pretty lucky. Haven't heard from Trent, so I really don't know what happened on the beach.

Here in Cary, I emptied the rain gauge yesterday upon returning from work, and this morning it was full at 5", and still raining. Emptied it again, and it added just a tad under 2" more! So effectively 7" of rain, some wind, no damage.

On the lighter side, my wife called me out to look at our garden - in particular a vole/mole hole. It had water coming up out of it like a spring!!! That'll teach them buggers to mess around in our yard!

Here in Lexington we got a nice slow rain just a little over an inch and very little wind - I let the dog out this morning and the wind blew the wheel barrow over and she started running like a scarety cat and hit the cement patio at full speed and almost slid all the way to the back door - It was funny when it happened but I sure am glad she didn't get hurt

It was fine down at the beach. Just a bunch of wind, no flooding at all. We actually sat out on the porch in it until 3am. We did lose power for a few hours though. I'm glad to hear that everyone is ok.

We made out basically without a scratch, some wind, some rain and couple of trees down here or there with some small limbs. No worse than a long summer storm. Tomorrow has fishing written all over it! Hope the flooding in central land not too bad. Stay well, Jim
