Our region is smack in the middle of the latest hurricane. It's been raining for the past 2 days, many streets are already flooded, low areas have been evacuated trees have already fallen and the power has gone off and on. All travel is restricted to evacuation moves only.
The worst of it is not even due here until late this afternoon. Predicted 100+ mph winds and up to 24 inches of rain expected. They are saying this could be the worst storm in 500 years around here. Sounds like it is going to be a fun day.
This kind of storm in this region is extremely rare. I have never been through a hurricane before.
