We lost electrical power shortly before 3 PM and it came back on about 8:30 PM or half an hour ago. I checked out readings from a few nearby personal weather stations on Weather Underground. Highest reported wind gust was 71 mph (114 Kmh) at one and 64 mph (102 Kmh) at another. Throughout the day we received about 6.4 inches (16.3 cm) of rain with the majority of it between 1 to 6 PM.

Lots of broken tree limbs and debris in the surrounding roads and enough trees blown down to make it interesting for the power restoration crews.

We are perhaps 60 miles (96.5 Km) west of center so I'm sure it is worse east of us.

I was raised near Charleston, South Carolina in the fifties and sixties when hurricanes seemed to pass through every two to three years so I'm very respectful of the power they have. I don't remember any hurricane remaining strong enough to be a hurricane or tropical storm this far inland from where it originally made landfall. Even now, tropical force winds extend 275 miles (443 Km) to the southeast of the center. Amazing!
