Hope things settle down for you JEBar.

Ours went out about 2. Finally came back on about 6:30. Got a look at the house and yard. Some minor fence damage, no damage to house.

I had the Generac all ready to go and bought gas a week ago filling several five gallon cans. But shiver me timbers our electric
blipped a few times but stayed on all though the storm. Funny thing I got a recorded voice mail from Duke Energy saying that there was an outage in our area and they had crews working on it. This i was the first storm that had not required running the generator for several days.

9PM and our power is still out .... the camper's generator is getting its exercise tonight

[JEBar]

8AM and our power is still out .... still misting hard enough to require running vehicle wipers ... this morning I took a ride through our area that covered around 10 miles ... a good bit of storm debris in the road, nothing large enough be of a concern .... no power along the loop, could see some lights in the distance in a few places .... NO utility trucks seen anywhere along the way

Made it through with little damage except for a 80 to 100 ft oak tree that buried two cars and a tree limb through a windshield. Talk about bad breaks. One of the cars that was buried and the another car with the tree limb through the windshield were owned by the same family. They were about eighty ft. apart. We have power, just flickers during the night. Trees look a little thinner now.

Maureen just got back from Fuquay and they have full power over there .... glad y'all didn't have any major problems

[JEBar]

our power is still out so we are settled in for another night in our camper .... drove over to Cracker Barrel for supper and on the way back saw a power truck a mile or so from our house .... that's the first repair people we've seen since the start of Ian .... that gives me some hope that we might get our power restored tonight or tomorrow

[Hatchdog]

Happy some of you are avoiding the power issue and even happier those like Jim that have no power have a back up plan. Sounds like those reporting here avoided serious damage to property but I sure feel sorry for the family with two damaged cars.

Don’t know how close you are, but wife has Aunt and couple cousins that live in High Point NC. Haven’t heard from them so we hoping they didn’t have any problems. My Grandson, who just graduated Lineman’s school in July, is in NC helping with storm damage.
