Storm made landfall at Ocean Isle Beach, NC which is 30 miles west southwest of Oak Island.
Vested interest? My neighbor's son (and good friend) is in Oak Island for the week vacationing with his wife and they didn't evacuate. Just messaged him, but didn't hear anything back yet. I'm sure he went through the same conditions Cantore is seeing in Wrightsville Beach.
As I understand, Oak Island had a 91mph gust just prior to getting into the eye.
To be honest, Tamaqua's nickname for many years has been "The land of the running water".
As for winter, if I'm still unemployed, let 'er rip. As long as I don't have to drive in it, I'm down for a good storm.
Damn confluence is just eating away at my snow....oops, I mean rain. It comes up almost to Tamaqua, then just dries up like it's hitting a brick wall...
You know it's 2020 when (in addition to everything else) the winter snow hounds are out in force on Aug 3rd.
Now normally, I'd be out roaming, looking for flooding in this situation, but I'm house bound. A stuck kidney stone and a trip to the ER today led to me coming home with a Foley catheter. I'm relegated to watching this one from my front and back porch...
