I was thinking about a friend in central NC who ended up just having a bunch of trees knocked down around his house, but almost forgot about everyone being down there this weekend, till today. Glad everyone made it out OK.

Sorry to hear about all of the damage over there, from the residents to John's MaxIV and camp. Pictures are pretty nasty that i have seen. Can't believe the level of water in some of those spots. Hope everybody got home safe. Got text from Dan67 about his adventure on the way home but my phone died and i have not returned his text yet. Hope those who went got in some good rides before the storm and made it out ok. Think i made a good decision to sit this one out. Be there in April for sure.

Well we made it back....instead of a 4hr trip we ended up getting home in about 7-8hrs due to roads being flooded every turn we made. It was crazy ride home with a tremendous amount of wind. While we were packing up it started hailing real small hail with the wind being so fierce I could lean back in the wind and it would still push me forward. Everything was WET.....lol. good afternoon ride on Saturday though until my brakes went out. Dried everything out on Sunday and then today, went to Sumpter National Forest. Funny thing is when we got there, they were closed because of the weather....oh boy, what a weekend to say the least. I have some pictures that my brother Danny took but having a hard time uploading. I'll try again in a bit.

The videos Danny took are not supported so I guess no go. I wish I took some pictures but it was so wet and raining nonstop I didn't want to pull out the phone. Lol.

A friend sent me these photos. He is at the park quite a bit but I do not know if he took these or grabbed them from elsewhere online. Just thought I'd share:

This is a terrible scene in all of low lying NC and SC, hope all survived. We all lollygag over storm warnings and having had very good luck through Sandy with minimal damage I tend to watch the radar regular, but floods are not on any radar and can come with next to no warning.

On a lighter note, I hope Busco survives.
