If Flo hits Montana, we're in really deep doo-doo!

Flo is shaping up to be another Harvey. Way wet and really slow moving. Not a good combination.
NOTE...Many of the people who died here died trying to drive through high water. Even one cop. So don't.

I really hope many heeded the warnings and evacuated!! .. as for the rest of the east coast... much of the interior east is drenched from a very slow moving front that went through over the weekend and beginning of the week.. this storm will likely move slowly inland and then north.. it is going to deluge eastern ohio, pennsylvania, WV, kentucky, interior new york and up into new england before it comes completely apart.. when this thing hits mountain areas , thats when flash floods are a REAL threat and you NEED to heed the warnings.. rain up high runs down very fast...

I parked in Northern Virginia through the weekend - It's been a rainy season up here from what I have heard - so the potential of more rainfall is unsettling to many.
If any one finds they are in need of assistance - please don't hesitate to reach out.

Just now getting internet back on my computer.
Bus did fine but the house not so much?
Still better than most in my area.
Trying to catch up.
How did our other NC,SC and GA skoolies fare?
At least it wasn't a 4?
Read a sign the other day saying Florence was like getting ran over buy a turtle and I can attest to that.
Now the insurance and FEMA are the turtles?
Hope everyone did fine.

Ga. got next to nothing. I was at least expecting heavy rain. We got some misting during the first day and then elevated temps and sunshine for the worst of it.

A big, heavy turtle.
Here in central NC.......5"-7" and 25-30 mph winds over 3 days.
Glad to see you back up and running.
