Charlotte has power.

 

I have power... that's all that really matters...


Seriously though, no idea. Most of Cary, Apex along 64 was blacked out last night. That's as close as I got that way. Everything around my house is out but my neighborhood is on thankfully. Inlaws are stuck at the outer banks. Can't get to their vehicles due to the water. A section of 40 is shut down in Garner too. It's bad out there.

Send me your address,,, we will have a bus load coming to you

 

 

Have power up here but half my driveway was washed away at the creek.

 

 

I've got so much power I don't know what to do with myself.

In tribute to those of you without power I have been turning on my heat and my AC in alternating cycles to warm and cool the house.

I have the microwave running to preheat some water to put on the stove.

I have all of the lights in my house on, my computer is playing porn while I surf Csc on the iPad (which has a full battery but it's plugged in anyway).

BRB the toaster just popped up some strudel and my lava lamp is in full disco mode.

 

My mothers house in Willow Springs just got power back and where I live in Rolesville I have power but the opposite side of town does not have power from what I saw. Bojangles was packed being the only restaurant with power in town.

 

My son in Fuquay Varina never lost power.

 

Heck, they have power in Wilmington now off S. College St. Who'da thunk it. They were out 12 hours. I got power back at 5PM yesterday after high drama at Casa Fieldgrade.

 

The south half of Knightdale is on Progress Energy and is without power. The northern half where we live is Wake Electric and has only lost power for an hour or so total.

Bad thing is...all the restaurants are in the south half...

 

I never really considered that Sanford and Fuquay had power, but I suppose their proximity to Raleigh may be of influence.

 

My power went out this morning while I was making holsters. The sun was shining and everything.

It only stayed off for like 30 seconds but that counts right?

 

My brother Mark Brooks is all over the coast with his crews trying to restore power in the outage areas. Talked to him last night and he said they hope to be heading home by the end of the week. Say a prayer for him , they go stuck last night and had to sleep in their trucks on some high ground because some of the roads out were impassable. Thanks Tommy

 

You got'em, Tommy. Tell him we said thanks for working his arse off. Lineman work ain't for the faint of heart.

 

Power just came back on in Wilson's Mills.

 

Power's been out in my section of Pinehurst since noon yesterday. No eta on when it'll be back up. If you have to go without power this is the weather for it!

 

...If you have to go without power this is the weather for it!

Ain't it the truth. When Fran came through 20 years ago my wife was nine months pregnant. It was hot and humid as heck after the storm in September and my neighbor ran a generator till midnight every night for days under our open window (because it was so hot).

He had a sewage pump to get his family poo to the main sewer line at the street since he was below grade, so he couldn't flush more than once without running the generator (according to him).

When mama ain't happy, nobody's happy, so we left town after four days.

 

Never lost power in our corner of Apex, but we have had no cable (TV or internet) since 10:00 p.m. yesterday.

 

power is out to my dad's farm between Carthage and Robins. Tree is down on the lines and the bridge in the middle of the flooded creek. Power co-op is gonna have to wait for the water to go down before fixing lines. Good thing he has a generator.
Don't know if town has power or not.

PS Bryson City ain't even had rain nor wind.

totally... you poor, poor man... I don't know how you survived the ordeal...

I must have gotten very lucky because my subdivision never lost power, but I keep getting the outage updates.

 

Friends in Willow Springs were out Sat mid day till about 7 pm today. Some in the Bentwinds area of Fuquay are still out. My neighborhood was out twice for about 8 hours coming on the last time about 11:30 today. Didn't have to throw out any food etc. Prayers to those who have it much worse!

 

Ours went at 2pm yesterday, still no update. I run the genny for 4-5 hrs to get all the phones charged, fridge and freezer back to normal and let the Mrs watch a little satellite.

It' s still out for me, I think the food probably is no good buy now

 

So our power just went out... The damn storm was yesterday. No problem. Tonight it goes out. I called the outage line... They said next Sunday power would be restored..! What the hell is that?

 

Sunday??? Wow.

 

We have power in North Durham. Never so much as flickered during the storm.
