Def could have been much worse, I was prety concerned given the area I live in and we did surprisingly well this time. But people in surrounding towns and even in my area had soem flooding damage and I think afew roads are still closed due to flooding up this way.

That kind of thing happens with heavy rainstorms. Same thing with trees falling into houses and on cars. It's sad, but it happens all the time.

I saw the early storm track so long as it doesnt hook a right turn were good. I wonder if I should bother taking all my yard furniture back out.

Yep. Now that one looks like she could be trouble; hopefully she will eventually arc up N/NE like many do and head out to the hurricane graveyard.

My hometown didn't exist for several years after Katrina. I have lost everything I own from another hurricane. A little water is a weak hurricane.

My family has been through Betsy, Camille, and Katrina.
