One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

[Goat Whisperer]

lol, I just messaged you.
Hope y'all do okay...wind is starting to pick up and we are absolutely soaked. Lots and lots of rain.

I about had a heart attack earlier, goats are okay but it was a scary moment.

Here is to hoping NO BUCKS GO ROGUE!
We are still good here but our friends a few miles South of us have no power and they have a small river flowing across their property.

This must seem like nothing though ... kind of like normal fall/winter rains... especially with the hurricanes you have gone through. I just cannot imagine.

Amazingly our power came back on
There is a lot of folks in the Raleigj area without power
We will be ok here
I'm afraid the flooding is going to be catastrophic in eastern NC
There are bands producing 10 inches of rain per hour
The Neuse River runs from Raleigh east so you take all of the rain here that's going to flow to an area getting even more
That's a recipe for disaster
It may be as bad as Floyd was in 1999

Yeah, y'all have had quite a bit of rain lately - I believe the rivers were still running high from the last tropical system that "liked calling North Carolina home."

Right now, I can barely see my back fence, it's raining so hard here. We've had a few little blips, but no real power outages (thank the Lord!)

Are they evacuating where you are? I forgot completely you are in Wilmington.

I can't believe NC State and Notre Dame are playing football in Raleigh

Well
Power is back off

Playing football in a deluge is bad enough, but encouraging anyone to be on the roads in these sorts of conditions in insane!

@Southern by choice - they opened shelters a couple of days ago for voluntary evacuations; as far as I know, there weren't any mandatory ones. Folks around here who live in low-lying areas generally know if they tend to have flooding problems. A friend of DD and her family elected to go to a shelter before the mess really started rather than find themselves needing to leave in nasty conditions,

I agree. Twenty somethings are a breed unto themselves however... so where is my young adult son?
At the game.

Bella is freaked by the wind and rain and has discovered that she can climb the fence
Not good
