We have been watching Hurricane Florence’s path for nearly a week. At one time it was going to threaten Leah’s aunt in Winston-Salem, NC. Later it looked like it would move further south and west, possibly coming close to us. We were hoping for rain, although less than the coastal areas are getting.
Finally Florence’s path was settled, and it splits the difference. It’s moving through South Carolina, and we are not likely to get any rain. However, it seems to be spreading clouds towards us. There was a bank of thick clouds to our east and south most of the day on Saturday. Later in the evening the clouds reached us.
These apparently are part of the extreme outer cloud bands. Unfortunately it seems that they are not going to bring us rain.
Florence brought you a very pretty skyscape. Hard to imagine that it has dropped more than 30 inches of rain while it moves on. Quite the storm.
Robin — We haven’t talked to Leah’s aunt in Winston-Salem, but it appears that they did not get any severe weather up there. And we got nothing.
