Tropical Storm Claudette

[Jdarg]

Just got the first truly scary, house shaking gust about a minute ago. Otherwise it's just wind and rain as usual.

Just got home from a friends house. Drove from Grayton to Seagrove lots of pine needles on the road and a few palm fronds. Drove down to see the beach and currently it's about half way up the beach. The pine trees are blowing pretty good, but no debris except for a skim board in the road.

A big yawn. At least we won't have to water this week.

Noisy out there! Everyone okay?

EDIT: It is really getting a lot noisier outside. I am scared, but Pepper is calm, so she is being a good Mommy for me.

Thanks for the updates. BR, you drove down alone to stay in the storm? Can you not rely on your managment company to batten down the house (not plywood the windows, but check the doors and outside furniture)? If not, I suggest youlook into hiring a local company or individual to do this for you. Lessen your stress level!

I am here for you. Is your house shaking?

 

[Dia]

no - just tree branches & bushes hitting the house.

I can't tell if there's any limbs down, but it's been off and on with rain and wind. At one point I thought it was over and the bottom fell out again. So far not a single thing I can see from the porch has gone over.

A few gusts last night but nothing worse than a summer squall. It's been raining for about 12 hours now, some very dense and tropical. Light rain at the moment. The radar shows a smaller area of rain but it's not moving much.

I had already planned to come down a few days because we didn't have a rental this week.
