Morgana A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Lost power for about 23 hours, and for part that time also had loss of cell phones and landlines. Don't know official count, but we had over 20 inches of rain. This is the second 500 year flood to hit NC and SC in 2 years (Hurricane Matthew in 2016). Much better forecasting of potential strength this year. (Matthew blindsided the forecasters, not expecting it to be so devastating inland this far south) Last edited by cuidadora; 09/16/18 09:15 PM.

We lost power for a few days. Now that things have settled and the water has come down you can see the devastation in the towns around us.
