I just want make a general posthe and say that I'm praying and thinking about all those who have been affected by Hurricane Matthew this week. My anxiety and panic attacks have been almost non stop because of the storm and all the stubborn people who didn't get out of their homes before the storms made it to them and the ones who couldn't.
I hope all of you who were in evacuation areas or in thr path of the storm are okay. <3

My DD is in the thick of it. She's in Wilmington, NC.
I'm a nervous wreck.
I talked to her at midnight and we went to bed thinking he wouldn't make landfall.
The storm was to make the turnaround before it hit NC. But that changed.
He made landfall at 11 am this morning, right below her in SC.
So her area was in the worst quadrant.
She had torrential rains all day. Her backyard is a lake.
Late afternoon the wall of the eye passed through and there was about a short lull.
Then the wraparound began. They're getting 5" of rain an hour with more than 15" expected over and above the day's total.
And at 8pm, she lost power. And that takes away every convenience, including water.
No sleep for me tonight.
Thanks for the thread, Teg.

♥ ℒʊ√ ♥ , Any updates on your daughter? I hope that she doesn't have to go without power for long as that totally sucks. I was sorry to hear there were lives lost from this storm here in the U.S. I was hoping since there was so much warnings beforehand, we might escape with no deaths. Oh but so many in Haiti and the number keeps going up and up. Haiti just has one thing after another. So very sad.

Tumbleweed , thank you for asking.
NC wasn't supposed to get hit that hard. Matthew was to make the turnaround below NC.
She's still without power. Her neighbor was kind enough to go throughout the neighborhood yesterday and take pics of damage for homeowner's claims.
She lost all of the shingles on her roof, so he went on top to photograph the soaked wood.
After 15" inches of rain, the wood can't hold any more. She needs to get a tarp ASAP. But the roads are closed, as are the stores and gas stations.
But thankfully, no rain predicted for the next five days.
She knows a roofer, so he's put her on his very long list of repairs.
She was scheduled to come here on the 15th (this weekend) for vacation, but not sure that's happening now.
Again, thanks for asking!

Again, thanks for asking! I'm just glad she is o.k. What a nightmare for so many people. I hope she manages to gets a tarp or the roof get's repaired before it does rain again . I can't imagine the long list of people needing repairs on things. I hope it works out that she still comes to see you but I suspect that is very unlikely to happen and I bet there is nothing more you want than to see her in the flesh and blood.

Thanks for the thread, Teg. Ok sorry, this is bugging me. What's "DD"? I think it's "Something Daughter". I'm going to kick myself when you say it, I know I am, but for the life of me I just can't think!

Indeed, Tumbleweed . We're still working on her coming here. Tomorrow, some stores should be opened, so she should be able to get the tarp. If she can do that, her friend is willing to house and pet sit, so if roads open up, she will attempt the trip.
And yes, the most important thing is she (and her dog) are fine. Material things can be replaced/repaired.
But it's still really a nightmare in the state.
But she's more positive. Her power is back on ahead of the estimated time it was to come back online. So things are moving forward!
As she said, when the power came back on, she immediately felt better and more positive.

That's good news, ♥ ℒʊ√ ♥. I would feel so much better too if I got my power back. It is such a lost feeling when you are without power as everything you do seems to need power. And I'm so happy she might make it to see you after-all. I didn't think things would work out so fast for her but doing a happy dance for her and you and I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I'm counting on you to keep those fingers crossed, Tumbleweed .
We need both 95 and 40 (in Virginia) opened. But by week's end, we think it will be.
And if she can get the tarp on and the friend will stay in the house to keep an eye on things, we should be good to go.
I have a deposition on Tuesday for the head on collision I was in. And I'm nervous as all heck. It will help to have her here. The accident was five years ago.
I was at a complete stop and the accident was 100% not my fault, but you know how loath insurance companies are to pay for anything!

I was at a complete stop and the accident was 100% not my fault, but you know how loath insurance companies are to pay for anything! I most definitely have those fingers crossed. Why do insurance companies do that to people? It's traumatic enough to go through something like that without them making you feel like you did something wrong. But I guess there are scammers and liars out there so I do kind of understand their position. I guess I'll cross my toes then for you. lol Seriously, I hope it all goes smoothly for you.

The thing is Tumbleweed , I can understand it years ago when we didn't have the sophisticated medical equipment we do now.
But when numerous MRIs, x-rays, ultrasounds show multiple, serious injuries and when visible injuries still remain FIVE years later like the lemon sized painful lump in my neck from the seatbelt holding me back as my car traveled 100 feet backwards into oncoming traffic from the force of the hit, I really don't have any type of sympathy for the "scam" excuses they like to hold onto.
You can keep the toe crossing on hold until Tuesday, the 18th.
