We got 6"+ of rain, 35-40 mph winds this morning with gusts to 60. The house faired well, but my hardwoods took a beating, losing 3 dozen mostly mature red oaks but a few white oaks as well. The rest of the white oaks got stripped of their acorns as the forest floor is littered with them. It wasn't a Hurricane Hugo, but it was a strong storm on the east side of it where we were.

We're northeast of Atlanta and it wasn't as bad as expected. We lost power for about 6 hours but the wind and rain was not bad. The news is 40 fatalities so far. We have no complaints. Pray for Contender; I hear that the Lake Lure dam may be close to collapse.

RJTodd, thank you for your interest. After too long await for things to happen, issues forced a C section. But all healthy now. Healthy BIG boy, think will be shaving by 1st grade. How is Contender doing ?
