Hurricane Dorian
#11
Docs, still hundreds perhaps thousands in Carteret County who are not back in their homes after Florence hit us one year ago. Tons of water infiltration from roofs failing requiring total rebuilds of interior walls. Not enough contractors around to repair all the damaged homes. Yes, let’s hope this thing steers further offshore!!!

Just received this from a friend who received it from a friend who...
Abaco Island - 220mph winds gusts to 250mph. I believe he said the storm surge inundation was ~16'-18'.

Cat 5 hurricanes are one of the most destructive forces of nature. In 1968 when Camille hit Mississippi I was an Aerographers Mate on duty at NAS Willow Grove PA and had the mid watch. The weather observations are sent out every hour via teletype and the last ob from Biloxie said "Wind data not available, anamometer blown away." An anamometer is wind speed measuring device for the non weather folks.

It's also spelled AnEmometer, for both the weather and non-weather folks.

Unfortunately I do have bigger problems than earlier this morning. I played 18 from 8:00am ‘til 12:00 noon. During this time NOAA NHC changed the path of Dorian. We are under a mandatory evacuation and curfew (sunset to sunrise). The eye is expected to be a direct hit over Beaufort, NC - that would be me. I now have all of my ladders (6) and shutters (28) laying around the house & I’m not finding this to be what I was hoping for. Only a Cat 1/2 so we call it a Mullet Storm. It will be fine if it gets here and leaves RAPIDLY! Fingers crossed. Our little town is basically a ghost town right now and everyone from Down East is heading to higher grounds. OK, back to slinging shutters & a hammer. Argh.

We did in fact, Eric - Thank You! One 50' towering Ash tree is uprooted & w/in striking distance of my next door neighbors building - sitting at about a 30* angle. Tons of debris, but house is standing and everyone is safe. Now (again) for the long clean-up.
