Me too. We have family and friends in North and South Carolina. So far NC seems to be faring better than expected and SC worse. Still waiting for my husband's brother's family in Columbia to check in. I'm sure they're fine as they have a sturdy house on high ground, but what a mess!

Home Muirenn is OK! I think she's in SC! NC is for the most part fine - except the far southern coast. Inland I haven't heard of much other than some isolated tree damage from wet soil + wind. SO glad the hurricane left us alone!

There is a specially-trained search and rescue team based in Fairfax County, VA, called Virginia Task Force 1. They go all over the world to help in the aftermath of earthquakes, major storms and other disasters. They're getting ready now to deploy to South Carolina.

I'm glad that people are getting the help they need but sorry conditions are bad enough to warrant their involvement.

update - here is one of the 4 dogs they brought with them. Looks cute but no doubt s/he is a highly-trained, hard-working member of the team.

The photos I've seen online of the flooding in Charleston and Columbia, SC are horrifying! DH's brother's family in Columbia are fine, but there are places they can't drive or go to because roads are closed/caved in. Wilmington, NC, where my brother lives, looks terrible too, but he and his house are fine. The Outer Banks and some of the islands off shore in NC had a lot of of flooding, roads out, etc. They had already had plenty of rain before this latest storm, which is part of the problem: the ground was already saturated.
