[Oe List ...] What do we know about Helene?

Sat Sep 28 03:42:40 PDT 2024

 Experienced 44 mph winds and much rain on but no property damage.  This is the first hurricane I stayed in my home -- due to fine weather service forecasts.  Did receive a Tornado Warning (150 mph) in the late afternoon so I sat in Bob's walk-in closet with the sliding doors shut for 30 minutes -- while my close friends (whom I telephoned) just chuckled.

Davidson, NC, north of Charlotte, checking in.  The Cock family is high and dry.

Lots of heavy rain and high winds, but our area seems to be ok.  Over 1 million people in Mecklenburg Co. without power, but we didn’t lose ours.   Davidson is the northern edge of Mecklenburg County which is predominately Charlotte.  With all the warnings, we had a bag packed In case of tree/roof  damage .  Asheville is about 3 hours west of us, but its mountains and creeks and rivers were greatly impacted.  Swannanoa, which was named in the news clips I saw,  is where Rob Work lives.   Marshall Jones may be in Maggie Valley, near Asheville in those same mountains.  Our college grandchildren near Raleigh and Burlington checked in ok.  Heard from Mary Lou Vergara near Raleigh who was checking in on us. 

Grateful for the many warnings sent out prior to the storm that reminded us to be prepared for this.   Thankful for the service workers in place throughout the south and coming from the north to help with downed lines, etc.  

Thanks, Bill and Mary Lou, for checking on us.

We’re about 3 miles from the beach but high enough above sea level that the storm surge didn’t get to us. So we’re safe and no property damage. The barrier islands west of us, as in Clearwater Beach and St. Pete Beach, are devastated and inaccessible.
