This shows the storm’s center leaving the mainland at the SC NC border. Orange is where tropical storm winds are actually being observed… well south of us. Rain became heavier through the night, and the sea level has actually gone down by 12-18”. I have had to adjust our lines. Rain is now slowing. Wind has been 12-15 mph with occasional gusts that are higher.
I think you mean Idalia! They’re already up to “G” in the names.
