Up to 50 mph at landfall. 1004 mb. Man this thing was winding up coming ashore! Pretty impressive rapid organization! This would've made a run at a hurricane with just 12 more hours
5mb drop in 30 minutes, 8 hours at the most it would have been a cane

Luckily it is low tide. Minimal flooding in Charleston. Winds have shifted to offshore. Majority of rain appears to be on the northeastern side of I-26. Wind gusts up to around 31 mph in Mt Pleasant. Storm looks to be threading the needle between Isle of Palms and Dewees Island. Yesterday evening my pool had a good three inches to go before it got close to the top...this morning it is overflowing...Mainly a rain event with this one.

I've noticed an uptick in the wind here as well. Would've been something if this thing had just 10 more hours, absolutely would've been a Cat 1 and made our day considerably more interesting
