Things seemed to have settled down here in Alamance County. Hopefully we are out of the mess caused by Debby.

Be careful my friend. About 15 years ago we lost a red oak tree after this kind of rain event (may George Carlin forgive me). Completely blocked our driveway. Our SIL had to take us to work.

The situation in PA is awful. Lots of people trapped and they don't have the resources to get to them all.

Back to standard issue hot and humid in Charlotte. Summer certainly knows how to get me in the mood for Fall.

People stranded in trees in PA with the flooding. Just heard a call with someone was in the tree and then the tree was swept away with the person in it.
