We concluded our family visit and are en route back to Tampa.
Traffic through Charlotte was smooth and we are headed to Columbia on I77. Lots of trucks and travel trailers but not too different than what we see usually traveling up and down the East coast.
Just got power back on....

I was nearly one of those. Twice.
My oldest got notified that their apartment complex had power restored yesterday, except for one building that has a blown transformer.
Guess which building....
Waiting on Duke Power to get around to it. Eta unknown. Kid still evacuated. Safe is really all that matters. Everything else is just inconvenience. And cost.

Reminder: It ain't over 'til it's over: TROPICAL DEPRESSION FOURTEEN, soon to be Hurricane Michael.
Tropical cyclone naming trivia: So, every year there are 26 names pre-designated for hurricanes in the Atlantic, the East Pacific, and the Central Pacific. Actually, there are 6 lists, which cycle every (duh) 6 years, except when a storm is particularly "memorable", in which case that name is retired.
The Central Pacific, which is usually fairly uneventful vis a vis hurricanes, got up to "W", Walaka, this year. Supposedly, this is the first time the Hawaiian Islands were hit by two hurricanes in the same year, AND the first year an island besides Hawaii or Kauai was hit directly.

Hurricane Michael is currently a Cat1 (Max 85mph sustained winds) and forecasted to be a Cat3 when it makes landfall sometime Wednesday. Not only is it increasing in strength quickly, it's also gaining speed quickly.

Well.
Shit.
This is not good for the Panhandle. Hope and pray all in the path of this storm are ok.
Which is not currently me, here in Tampa, but who knows.
Just what those folks in the Carolinas need, more rain...
