Talking about weather:
I mover to Southwest NC about 15 days ago and last Saturday we got the tail end of hurricane Matthew. Probably we had about 15 to 17 inches of rain, .... flooding. No wind destruction. Just flooding. Few dams on Lumber river broke making a bad situation worse. Not only the creeks were flooding , even water from the river over flew its banks.
But not serious damage other than electric sub stations in our area went under water. We got the power back after 5 days. The land is so flat around here that hardly anything flows.
