Normally, I'm off of work on Sunday, but we had a backlog of mail build up yesterday with hardly any staff ... I'm leaving here for James Island right now (but I may not be there long) ...

already winds near 50 mph along the coast ...

Got some decent wind around 5:30 AM from a rainband. Then it died down some. Power has flickered off and on a few times. Wind is starting to pick up again here, we had to pull in the back porch furniture as it was starting to get pushed around. Our street is starting to get a bit flooded from the rain. We are at South Windemere on Folly Road, just across the bridge from downtown Charleston. Much less scary that Bonnie's leftovers so far, or Charley's brush.

Ton of rain and wind here in Mt. Pleasant. I have been up most of the night with the wind and the rain. Everytime I think it calms down it gets windy again.
I have found more leaks in my roof! The good think is with Bonnie, CHarley and Gaston, I am finding all the leaks before my warrenty expires!
