Rain, wind and more … and the storm has not officially arrived … Best I can tell, our area has recorded over 7 inches of rainfall over a few hours time frame … and it continues … Highest wind recorded locally over the past few hours was in the mid 30 mph range … And the storm has not officially arrived … Check for yourself, if interested. Google NWS and use your area code … I used 28337 (Elizabethtown, NC).
Short and sweet … It’s wet and more rain is on the way … Several areas have been identified as areas of concern … some folks are in centers identified as “shelters,”, several in Bladen County … Again, Google for locations…
Showers and possibly thunderstorms today. High temp near 81. Windy, with gusts as high in the mid 40 mph range … 90% chance of rain … new rainfall amounts … an inch or 2 or more, possible.
Tonight … Tropical storm conditions possible. Showers and possibly a thunderstorm … Low around 75 … and 90% chance of rain.
Friday … Tropical storm conditions possible. Showers and thunderstorms are likely. Mostly cloudy with a high near 88 and a 60% chance of rain…
Rain should begin to lessen, but continues in the forecast thru next Wednesday … Tornadoes are a threat…
We all need to continue to monitor weather sources for specifics for our area for the next day or two. Tropical Storm Debby has caused a “mess” … The sooner the storm departs, the better … Tornado warnings are likely to continue for a while…
And, there are those among us who are having a difficult time dealing with it all … We need to reach out and assist…
Prayers for rain have been answered … a little late, but…
Some in low lying areas, no doubt, having severe issues…
“Those that can bend with the wind, will weather the storm.”
“It doesn’t matter what people say about me, I weather the storm.”
