We are good here. Rain expected til Tuesday. Thankfully we have been really spared. Just 10 miles south of us has been hit pretty hard. I will say when the alerts go off they are deafening. Lots of Tornado watches. Flooding is a big issue. We are suppose to have some gusts throughout the day. Very thankful.
We have locked up all the goats and LGD's that are in the woods because of possible trees falling. I am very impressed. None of these dogs have ever been stalled or locked up. They are not happy but they are not climbing out, digging , barking or anything. Milking late this morning. :oops:

Same here -- overcast for days, light to heavy rains off & on. Animals are all good, sheltering in place with ample large, dry run-ins. Wet grass tho. Minis don't care, goats are eating hay, afraid to get a shower. I am another THANKFUL one.

Feel so badly for those in Southern Carolinas! It will be months before they recover. Tough times now & for several weeks. It appears no electric for weeks, for most.

There is some minor flooding along the local coastal neighboroods, not near me. The rivers nearby are high, not overbank yet. A few isolated low road areas have light issues.

farmerjan, you are right...animals on alert, quiet, probably sheltering in place. My chickens staying close to coops. All good.

We are good here
Lost power for a couple of hours yesterday
Things are pretty bleak 50 miles south of us
There has been catastrophic flooding
The worse areas are still getting a lot of rain
An inch up to 3 inches per hour
Just torrential rain
The storm is barely moving

3 of my employees are in Lumberton and Fayetteville
Both areas are experiencing serious flooding on the Lumber and Cape Fear rivers.
I just checked on them and they are ok for now
We also have some NCDGBA members in some areas that were hit hard
Trying to check up on them now
Keep them in your prayers

We haven't heard from the Browns or Bryants
Cole has tried to call both
Also the Waldmans in Whiteville it looked like the eye wall sat on top of Whiteville forever
Someone was going to try to get to their place to check on them

Mrs Ruth is good.
It is starting to flood about 1/8 mile south of us. Still raining pretty hard here.
Glad you all have had the worst pass.
All the folks East and South sure are really dealing with alot.
