Are_grits_groceries's JournalI SURVIVED! Power is back!
My power has been out since 1pm Saturday.
We got whomped in this region of the state. I think every tree was blowed over.
Now comes the kicker for some people. The rivers are rising and they are getting flooding.
There was a loud noise during the storm. I had new decorative greenery. It came as close as you can get.
Coastal SC and inland are drowning.
My power is flickering now.
In addition, idiots are out joyriding and getting stuck. They have to be rescued. Fine them out the wazoo!
The wind and rain are bad. Gonna get washed away, blowed away or both. Those poor people on the coast.
I'm ok. Been through this before.
Moonpie and Tater are hunkered up beside me.
SHIT! 2am Matthew has shifted and is heading toward Beaufort which is South of Charleston.
Landfall is imminent.
That will probably put Charleston in the NE quadrant.
I have just gotten 2 tornado warnings.
In Charleston. Craziest shit I have seen preparing for Matthew.
Philip is opting to stay in #Charleston and bubble wrap his door. This is his first #hurricane but his neighbor told him he'll be fine.Philip gone learn the hard way. WTF does bubblewrap do? And with painter's tape??
We ready. NE SC
The hotels and motels are full. Bread and water gone!
It looks like it's turning east some now but I don't trust those bastids until they are across the pond.
Jacob Hall has passed. He was the 6-year-old shot at Townville Elementary in SC.
No. I don't have a link yet. It's near Clemson and the news has been passed from a friend.
The bullet hit his femoral artery and he coded twice on the LifeFlight. There was too much blood loss and he was on life support.
Sigh....
Peace kid. Rest in peace!
Gots a manhunt in the neighborhood.
A 19 year old man has been evading police for 7 days by hiding in the woods. He is wanted for larceny and burglary but there must be something else they aren't saying.
I am not overly worried. The cats will let me know if there is a hint of an odd noise. I have a baseball bat and I will hurt him if it comes down to it.
I hear helicopters.
What a sweetheart:
I think I have the flu.
Should I be checked anyway or just tough it out.
Feel like 'death warmed over!"
NE SC It's raining and supposed to get worse.
The eye will pass a mile or two east of me unless it changes.
Just biding my time.
Moonpie and Tater are plotting and napping.
