Looks like the remnants of Kyle are trying to single-handedly erase the rainfall deficit here in central North Carolina. Our esteemed administrator on this site lives close to one of the more flood-prone creeks in this area, Swift Creek. Of course, he is up the hill a ways so he should be alright.<br><br>Woke up to the sound of a major downpour last night, drove to work in a steady rain at 6:30, and then it really started pouring about 8 AM. The major waterway snaking through the city of Raleigh is now out of its banks - this after setting record low flow rates in the last few days.<br><br>The road about a mile down from where I work is under water, they have been evacuating low-lying buildings around the RDU airport, and the main road in the Research Triangle Park is closed.<br><br>Somebody turn off the faucet.......<br><br>Tomorrow is the opening day of gun season in Eastern NC - I don't want to have to wear waders to get to my stand.<br><br>Reckon I'll go home early to beat the rush. I can now commiserate with the guys in the Gulf Coast area that got nailed by the last two storms.<br><br>Y'all have a good weekend - I'm on Fall Break from school and huntin' season is here.

 

My sister lives around Level Cross. I just talked to her, and she told me they had over 7 inches in the guage in the past 18 hours or so. They're supposed to cut hay tomorrow... :

 

I got caught today in traffic on the way to work, went through a couple of puddles. You could either call me brave or stupid, but here I am. We needed the rain so I don't miind it.
