I was 4 years old, but I remember it well. Actually, Matthew was worse than I thought. My neighbor said around 2:00 am it was rocking and rolling around here. Fortunately, I slept through it. Everyone around me had a lot of debris. I still haven't figured out how I escaped all the cleanup work after a storm goes through. I'm not complaining! I'm glad your family made out ok. ...My cable went out the day after the storm. I've been without TV, phone, and internet until this afternoon. I sure do miss it when I don't have it!Galestormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09561727439124466050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-69523730937465864882016-10-09T22:58:52.385+02:002016-10-09T22:58:52.385+02:00No you didn't contribute to my worry :)

I am sure the hurricane was much milder at her house than mine LOL<br />It is gorgeous here today .. I wish the weather was this nice all year long.Notes From ABroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202279303962539035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-55894664668628352352016-10-09T22:48:29.094+02:002016-10-09T22:48:29.094+02:00So glad to hear all as well with MA and family.

It was held on a bluff with a view of the Little River. It was quite windy and it's windy here in Anniston today. We could use some rain because we have drought conditions now.

Ma soeur va bien aussi.<br /><br />As for the flooding, MA lives on the edge of a salt marsh. She said it was unusually full of water this morning, but not enough to overflow the retaining wall behind her apartment.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-51255405530359990002016-10-09T19:47:05.949+02:002016-10-09T19:47:05.949+02:00Thanks for that link.

My sister was worried about the tall pines on her property in Newport, but they all made it through the storm. So did she. Same at my mother's retirement complex in Morehead. You can help but worry about these storms because the media hypes them so much, but the fact is, as my mother told me today, in her 80 years of her living in Morehead, including the 20 years I lived there, we never had any damage from hurricanes. Even though we had a lot of hurricanes in the 1950s when I was growing up -- maybe you remember?

There was a lot of rain. "Upstate" in Fayetteville and Goldsboro, there was flooding. There were hundreds of rescues, according to an article I read in the Raleigh newspaper. All that water will be flowing down the rivers to the coast, but I don't think there will be flooding at Morehead City, which is 90 miles north of Wilmington and about the same distance from Cape Hatteras.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-12262493883882493162016-10-09T17:46:40.542+02:002016-10-09T17:46:40.542+02:00I have a relative in Wilmington.

I would need a sweater if I went outside this morning. I have hardly any debris in the yard this morning. I usually have a lot of flotsam in the back yard when the tide comes in during a storm and I have none of that this morning. I am a mile from the ICW and the creek behind my house is a tributary off Queens Creek. I was expecting a very high tide from all the weather reports. My electricity did go off sometime during the night. It appears to have been off around an hour. I've seen worse nor'easters come through where I'm at. I had to do a lot of storm prep because we didn't know what to expect. It was sounding very bad. Flooding inland is very bad and comparable to Floyd. I don't know if you ever listened to Skip Water, the meteorologist that was with the TV station in New Bern, but he has been sorely missed during this event. He could pinpoint a hurricane, storm, or tornado and tell you when it was right over your roof. He passed away suddenly a couple of years ago.
