Just got the electric power back on and the web is again alive for me.
No huge damage for myself and the wife. Lots of the roof singles striped off and some ceiling damage from leaks. The siding from one end of the house was striped off(vinyl over asbestos siding singles). Some of the same vinyl siding on the front and back was striped by the wind.
None of the local radio stations are on the air. One I was able to listen to is over 100 miles away and mostly ignored my home city of Jacksonville, NC. No local reporters and not enough drama.
I expected far worse since we got the wall of the eye as it passed by(eye wall has the strongest winds). One gust was recored at 100 mph but 85 mph was the norm. I know one gust really rattled the house and got my full attention.
The big trees in the yard broke off several big limbs 8-10" at the base but landed in my neighbor's yard.
So now the fight with the insurance company begins.
Thanks for those who showed their concern for us in the path of the hurricane. My wife and I did well and its good to hear our Outerbanks pirate has survived to raid another cooler once more. 73, Mike
