Rob--Good to hear from you! We had CNN on and saw that you guys lost a section of bridge! Also, I heard a school lost its roof, but I'm glad it didn't get to you.

Pensacola took the big hit.  Did you see the I-10 bridge across Pensacola Bay?  Collapsed.  That had to take some serious wave action.

[Barefoot Rob]

Saw that I've crossed that bridge a 100 times.scary stuff.

Lots of rain and moderately high winds here in N. Georgia, an hour or so north of Atlanta. The rain is starting to taper off as of 9AM. I've been without power since 7pm last night (using a laptop w/battery now).

I suspect lots of flooding and I have a couple of trees down on my property, but nothing blocking a road or close to the house.

The back of Little Brother's yard may be a swamp.

I'll be leaving at noon to go to LB's jam and driving back home each night which is about 2 hours each way.

[Barefoot Rob]

Randy be careful I read reports of flooding in north Ga.I hope all is good at LB's place.

We're on the very outer edges of it here in north central S.C. I'm slightly south of Charlotte, N.C. We're having periods of heavy rain and surprisingly heavy wind (nothing like you're getting west and south of here). Flooding is our concern. And the "t" word.  

[Barefoot Rob]

Bill please stay in side and tie the wife and kids down.I've read reports of mudslides in your area due to all the rain that you've gotten from all 3 hurricans.Be Safe.

[12barBill]

Thanks Rob. No wife, no kids. Old bachelor right now. Fiancee lives in Surfside Beach, S.C., about three hours away. Been doing the long distance relationship thing for five years now.

The mudslides are mainly in the mountain areas of N.C. (western part - Appalachian chain).

I'm in the piedmont area (rolling hills) along the Catawba River which has a series of large recreational lakes - hydroelectric dams. Duke Power Co. is turning out all the water they can through the dams, but can't do it fast enough. Too many hurricanes too close together. Many tributaries and low lying areas are getting flooded. A very large area feeds this river system, so when this storm gets gone water is still draining into the river system and its lakes for days. And Hurricane Jeanne (spelling?) looks like it's gonna come this way next week. More heavy rain maybe.

OK, geography lesson over.

Here is Ivan or what's left of him Looks Like were going to get a little of what's left here in Massachusetts.

Prays and thoughts go out to you all during this time of Hurricane season.

Pittsburgh is getting slammed with record-setting rain for the last 24-hour period. Major roadways are washed out and the rivers will crest above flood stage downtown.

Fortunately, we live high up on a hill and the rest of our family all seems to be safe. No worries here, but there are some low-lying areas that haven't been as lucky.  

[poki]

there seems to be yet another storm brewing down south again.  it's been said many times already but best wishes and good luck to all you folks in harms way.

You know what I said about Arizona not getting any hurricanes ... well, Hurricane Javier has us in his sights. Its supposed to cross Baja on land and hit us tomorrow or Sunday. No comparison to the ones hitting Florida but we are a little excited here. We need the rain!
