Hurricane Isaias charges into the Carolinas, poised to sweep up East Coast
Storm to batter Mid-Atlantic and Northeast with heavy rain, coastal flooding and strong winds.

The storm lashed the shores between Charleston, S.C., and Morehead City, N.C., where has caused widespread power outages, coastal inundation of three to five feet in some areas, and heavy rains that could reach up to eight inches.

As the storm made landfall near Ocean Isle Beach around 11:10 p.m., observed wind gusts topped 90 mph in coastal North Carolina southeast of Wilmington. A weather station at Oak Island, North Carolina, reported sustained winds of 76 mph, and a gust to 87 mph. The storm, which had been a tropical storm throughout its near miss with Florida, regained hurricane status, its maximum sustained winds increasing to 85 mph. In Myrtle Beach, a historically large storm surge flooded roads and businesses, and several tornadoes were reported, some causing damage.

Snip.

We've reached the point in the storm where things are falling on the roof and slamming into the house. With the power being out now everything sounds much, much louder. What I am finding amazing is how quiet the dogs are. It's errie. I am hearing people drive down the road and that's baffling. The wind gusts are getting scary. Thankfully, they are infrequent.

How's everyone else doing? I hope everyone is staying safe.

Please check in.
