Power went off about 8:30am and came back on at 7:15. Storm started last night about 9pm with rain and some wind. Wind was tough and I live about 60 miles inland in Greenville. A ton of damage from trees falling. Nothing close to us as we live away from any large trees. A lot of people have gone since last night without power and are still down. I believe there are 3 deaths reported in NC attributable to the storm, of which one was about 4 miles up the road. (Car lost control and hit tree)

You guys north get your stuff ready so you can go awhile without power. And get out the boots, last I heard we had about 12-13 inches of rain in 24 hours. Be safe!!
