No wind, no rain here in Sarasota right now. My neighborhood is under 3 feet of water but the water level fell well short of the house foundation. Doesn't appear to have sustained any significant damages but we'll know more once the flood waters recede and power is restored. Considering what could have been, we're very fortunate.

What the road looks like this morning in front of my son's house. Could have been far, far worse and sadly, it is for many here in Florida.

Here in central N.C., we aren't in the cone on the NOAA maps, but we are predicted to get five days of rain and are already hearing the wind howl above the trees and feeling distinctly cooler temperatures, only to illustrate the size of this storm which is centered about 800 miles from here. Saturday will be the rainiest backwash by current projections.

I phoned my cousin and family outside Ft. Myers in Lee County, and the line is busy, so they are in touch with others. I'll call until I get them and don't expect to talk long, with all they are contending with.
