Dis Storm Tracker job is no joke.
Isaias came on shore as a Cat 1 Hurricane and the eye of da storm went right over us. Brunswick County (where we live) was the hardest hit as landfall was in our county.
The strongest wind gust were in our county and dey reported >4.07 inches of rain. Lots of flooding and even house fires on the coast.
It was out of here by 2am. A fast moving storm.
Prior to landfall we had about 4 tornado warnings as we were on the Northeast side of the Hurricane (da bad side). Some of the tornadoes were really close to us butt dey managed to just avoid us. Mom and Aunty D were very nervous and I did my best to keep dem calm.
When we were in da "bunker" (our climate controlled storage room wiff no windows) I even managed to sleep. Mom had moved my bed in dar so I was real comfy. Mom kept busy playing Online Mahjongg and looking a realtor.com.
Da good news is dat we never loss power (just some light flickers) and our house is not damaged. Things are always more scary in da dark.
Dis morning, Mom and Aunty D picked up 4 big bags of downed limbs in da front yard. Dar are a few out back, butt dey will tackle dem another time. I think they are both really tired and that naps will be called for, today.
Wags,
Ranger
So glad you are safe! xoxo

Isaias stole our electricity for a couple of days but thankfully, we only lost leaves and branches. So many others were not as lucky as we were. We hardly got any rain (which we needed). The wind was the factor here.
ReplyDeletewe hate that evil hurricanes and we are glad you are ok...
ReplyDeletePhew, you survived the storm and are all in one piece. Thanks for letting us know Ranger.
