Hurricane Florence
7 years ago
Since I'm in Greenville, NC, I'm right in the path of the giant, rotating cloud swarm just about where it is expected to make landfall on Thursday, September 13, 2018. A catagory 4 is going to be really rough, and I'm fortunate to have the supplies currently with me to weather through about a month worth of isolation. I'm been through many hurricanes in my life, the worst being Fran in '96 and that was a cat 3, and at the time I was further inland.
I will be weathering this out in my small apartment here. I'm expecting to lose power for quite sometime, so I want to make sure everyone knows where I've gone off to during this time period. I'm going to send out a messages, notes, and/or emails to the various artists and writers that are still doing commissions for me about my predicament. This is probably the best time as any before the storm for me to upload more arts too. :p
Anyways, I'll catch you all later! Hopefully not much more great swirly cloud plumes will be flinging themselves across the Atlantic to my humble abode after this, but I'll be prepared if they do! ^.^
Update
So far, I haven't lost power nor net. It is still raining a lot as of current this Saturday, September 15, but the winds are significantly calmer and the only potential threat on my end is flooding. Florence is moving at a snail's pace so many places are still being kept closed until the sky becomes clear.
Thanks to all of you that touched basis with me during this, and many of you having faith in my well-being too. Things got a bit hectic during the Thursday night when the wind kept me up, but other than some missed sleep, I weathered through as if it were just like any other storm. Going to need to touch basis on others I know in the harder hit areas like New Bern further south. The entire town is underwater there, and I'm wanting to run some aid and relief there. Myself and others around me has extra stocked up supplies since this area weren't as hard hit, so it's best to give what we have to those that need it down there.
