We have the same situation here, Tina. The Nashville area, and on up
into Kentucky, have had quite a bit of rain, but down here, just above
the Alabama line, we are VERY dry.

Our rain gauge registered 1.6 inches. We still have an extreme watering
necessity according to the Farmers' Forecast. I'll be watering all day
tomorrow. :-(

My rain guage maxed out too but from the forecasts (and seeing the flooding on the
ground) I'd guess we had about 10". Unfortunately a lot more rain fell inland
and those poor folks in Lumberton, NC on the Lumber River (not far from here) are
dealing with severe flooding that was not at all expected. Many people have had to
be rescued by boat.
We pass through Lumberton on out trips north and also cross the Lumber River.
To see it in its normal condition you would not expect it to be a flood maker.

We did well on Daniel Island. No damage to the house and only a bunch of
sticks, small limbs and leaves to pick up. We were lucky with the storm
surge. My neighbor stayed home for the storm and at the height of the it
crawled back to the edge of the salt marsh to check the water height. At
1:30am it should have been dead low tide but the water level as at full
high tide mark, so about 5' storm surge and we are three miles in from
front beach. My rain gauge maxed out at 8" so not sure how much rain we
had. Downtown Charleston had plenty of flooding as it always does but was
indeed lucky the worst came at low tide. The area to the south of us
(Edisto, Beaufort, Hilton Head) got it far worse than us.

I'm a bit over 4 miles from the beach. AFAIK the eyewall passed over us.
Fortunately, it was only Cat 1 at that time and not the Cat 2 expected when
it was predicted to be further away. This was the 2nd Cat 1 where I've
been in the eye (first on Long Island). But I can tell you that being 35
miles away from a Cat 4 is a hell of a lot worse (Andrew 1992). :-)
I was protected by my hurricane panels but I'm not aware of any of my
neighbors who didn't have them getting impact damage from debris. There
are, however, a couple of houses which sustained roof and other damage from
falling pine trees and a couple where the damage was limited to fences. We
have a large, dead pine tree in a wetland area not too far from the house
and I was concerned it might decide to topple. The tree is still standing
but large sheets of its bark are now in my yard.
But even during Andrew in Florida in 1992 I think we were only without
power for about 3 hours. 32 hours is enough for me to think about getting
a portable generator as some of my neighbors already have.
ps: Thanks for your concern, Jim. I'm copying this to the list as my
"I'm OK report"
