Not much to report from Ladson/Summerville ...

Did pick up a heavy rain squall around noon time today and final tallies putting here just a smidgeon above an inch of rain and a some winds gusting as high as 30 mph a couple of times ....

A wave of low pressure developed along the trough and I believe that caused the sudden shift in which made my original forecast track off by 70 miles to the east.

Yeaugh, I was absolutely unimpressed with Ernesto.........

hope all are safe this am

Went for a bike ride . . . very little damage. Saw two buildings with minor damage. No street signs blown over. Some small trees were snapped. Only one or two larger trees fell over. The ducks at the lake are fine. No flooding and little, if any, beach erosion.

[NC George]

Boy was I wrong! Being that we were almost totally dry here, I didn't think flooding would be much of an issue. Well, it just stopped raining here, and dawn has broken. I look outside my window and see -- flowing water in my yard. The stream next to my house has overflowed it's banks for only the second time since I have lived here - 10 years. It didn't do this for Fran, Bertha, or Isabel. Only Floyd caused the water to be higher - and the water before Floyd was already lapping the bottom of the bridge over my stream due to Dennis. The overall water level is only 1-2 feet lower than it was during Floyd - and this time it started 6 feet below the bottom of the bridge (both flood events at my house were flash floods the day of the storm - the water then ran downstream to create the massive problems along the Tar and Neuse Rivers.) Center of Earnesto passing basically overhead now. Wind not very severe, not many large branches down, but wow, what a lot of water.

Tar River in Greenville is at 8 feet (up 4 feet since yesterday) and the rain gauge there reports 7 inches of rain since yesterday morning.

Winds let up some so went out for a look around. Neuse at the harbor didn't overflow but friend at mouth of broad creek but on Neuse river says her pier is in her back yard. So its up there quite a bit.

There are a few branches down here and there, did see one building with some siding off, and a couple with a few shingles loose.

Looks like we fared pretty well right around here.

Hubby will be going in a little bit to check on the Mobil home. Hopefully all will be well there also.

[UpTheCreek]

Fine on the other side of the Neuse here in New Bern. Lost power at 4:37 am, just brought back up around 8:30. Our water didn't come up very much, actually comes up much higher on some breezy days here on Brice's Creek. New Bern recorded a gust of 59mph around dawn sometime. I would say the center passed perhaps 10 or 20 miles to our west, that's my guesstimate anyway....so we didn't fair to bad being just on the east side.

Good luck to all the folks north of us. I heard one place, name escapes me, received over 12" of rain!

Hope this is it for the season!

[Tstormwatcher]

Reporting in, we had over 6 inches of rain from Ernesto witha winds gust of 60 mph. My heighbors huge Trampoline flew over my privacy fence and is now in my yard. Took the top off of my young maple tree. Power did go out overnight but was back on when I got up. Wind is still blowing in the range of 20 to 30mph.

[artist]

sorry to hear that Tstormwatcher!
Why oh why did they not secure it?? Didn't they realize a storm was coming?

[WindRunner]

Can't find the LSR from it, but there was an unofficial report of a 76mph gust in Rodanthe at 0751Z (this morning).

[Robert]

Wild night here last night, lots of wind, rain, bangs and not a whole lot of sleep. The water in Bogue Sound came up much higher then I expected, very close to the same level that it rose during Ophelia (at least at this part of Bogue Sound). Hopefully across from us on Bogue Banks (where the damage was last year) did not get hit like they did last year. We had just finished rebuilding our pier about 4 or 5 weeks ago from Ophelia (was totally taken out) and looks like we will be re-replacing about 1/4 of it (lost our steps, lost the end of the pier, and quite a few boards). We also lost almost every screen on our porch (only lost one during Ophelia). Also ripped the top off my hot tub (which was tied down with a piece of rope, I thought pretty well). But all my family are well, and that is all that matters (everything that broke can be repaired).

Power back on in our neighborhood - The tropical storm fortunately left the trees in tact and no damage to houses- unfortunately left big mess of branches and leaves to clean up - Everyone is safe - Waiting for the showers go away along with the wind and some sunshine -

[Okibeach]

Oak Island NC- Very little damage at all. Mostly just small limbs. Did not see any damage at all to any beach houses either. Will make for a very easy clean up and good labor day weekend. Good luck to everyone else.

I am also surprised they didn't anchor it down. Tried to move it off the tree and finally did but boy is that thing heavy.

Ernesto is to the north of us now. All the rain has ended just some gusty winds now. We don't have power but there are crews working on it right now so hopefully soon it will be back up. I have heard some reports of flooded roads here but nothing major so far. Other than that there is a few things blown about in the yard and a few limbs down but thats it.

[ncbird]

Mobil home did not fair as well... sigh...

Took a leak over laundry room and ceiling is just soaked and swollen. Hubby said complete ceiling in that room and part of hallway that runs along it will have to come down and be replaced. One of our larger trees took some damage and may need to come down as he is afraid another storm could take it down and it is very close to the mobile home. No electric there.

Oh well.. such is the chosen life of living in the coastal area. Could have been worse, so will count my blessings it just a ceiling.

All our Neighbors up north of NC, buckle up. Looks like it gonna dump on you pretty good also. Stay safe

[brunota2003]

how are all of my SC/NCers doing this AM? Got some minor damage here consisting of flooding and small branches down...otherwise no damage to report...rain gauge blew over sadly, but it recorded over 5 1/2 inches of rain. On base, their anemometer recorded sustained winds of 29 MPH with a gust to 51 MPH, the wind this morning was just howling...My anemometer recorded a peak sustained wind of 13 with a gust to 20 MPH, however it is very sheltered and I can't put it anywhere else. The pressure on base dropped to 998.2 Millibars, and here, about 2 miles away, it dropped to 999.5 Millibars...so not to bad...
