Stephanie is definately a hottie, but this weekend she's a Tarheel. Woke up this morning and it is absolutely a beautiful day with a few high, thin clouds. Didn't have time to get the weather station out to get any readings before heading to the woods to try and get up the remaining wood we have cut before all the rain gets here. Thought it might be interesting to see what kind of DA and vp readings we get before during and after the storm along with barometric pressure.

Sitting here in Daytona Beach Shores watching Irene pass by app 175 miles off shore.... The best way to have a hurricane pass by.... High surf, angry looking seas, rain and wind squals but not as bad as first predicted... Hope all our neighbors to the north are as lucky as we were... Will keep watching the Weather Channel and saying a word of prayer for you all!!!!

We are preparing as well ......
Nothing you really can do except pray if it decides to hit ...
We are about 60 miles east of thelandfall prediction..
Hope i can come back on here with good news in the next day or so......

Looking outside, it really is the calm before the storm! Mandatory evacuations all around us, but so far no call for this area, except for those folks who live in low-lying areas. We're about 17 feet above mean-low-water so if the storm drainage system works we shouldn't have any problem with flooding. The prediction for 35-50 MPH winds has me concerned, a lot of trees in the neighborhood. The folks living closer to the Chesapeake Bay will probably get hit harder, but we've got about a 10 mile buffer.

Prayers go out to all those affected by the approaching storm. Be safe!

Logging operations have ceased for today due to mill closing early for the storm. We have been working near kinston and on the way home I noticed alot more traffic in the west bound lanes than in the east ones. Walmart parking lot looked like Christmas Eve. All the cars were gone off Bud Rowe's car lot as if everyone had gotten their tax returns yesterday. The first bands of rain have started to come in now and the wind is increasing now from the east. Some numbers from the weather station- 84 deg barometer @29.80 the Vp is .95 and the DA is 3018. Back later with more.

Damaging winds from the hurricane expand out for more then 150 miles, I'd be heading more inland from where you are. Irene was 175 miles from our coast here and we still had 20 mph winds.
