Bread, milk, eggs... its like people prepare for a disaster by making breakfast.

I guess the idea is that, at least for bread and eggs, they are relatively non-perishable?
That's a really funny post. Hope you don't mind if I plagiarize your breakfast quote.

Nah, never got into reloading. I’m pretty much a Hornady guy , I’ve had great results. I buy bulk with free shipping usually targetsportsusa or bulkammo.com

I've read that it is weakening... what does that mean for the actual impact of the storm?

The wind is weakening but we are gonna get catastrophic rain.

I was going to "like" that, as in "thanks for the info," but then thought... how do you "like" something with the word "catastrophic" in it? So... yeah. Stay high, stay dry.

Stay safe, everyone. I'm glad that the storm continues to 'weaken' per se, but it still looks awfully scary for many of you. Thoughts and prayers sent your way.

In Lumberton, a bunch of rain and wind gust but things are dying down. Everybody stay safe.!Show, you got to try some defender pro home protection they are out of Raeford great ammo. I use Hornady in my long rifles though.

Reloading is a lot more work then it looks and I’ve never got around to understanding the milk thing during storms in NC. It does spoil lol

Live in New Bern (Fairfield Harbour) and rode it out. That wasn't a lot of fun boys but we survived! I think we took the brunt of it. Still standing and will start the cleanup when the rain finally clears. Prayers for everyone out there affected! Good luck to all!

Best wishes!

The news said the Lumber river will crest a foot higher than Matthew. Obviously that is just a prediction, but a scary one if true.


I just heard a rep from FEMA highlight the Lumber River as one that will flood in places. I was hoping the fact that it was at a significantly lower level than it was when Matthew hit would help, but ultimately the sheer volume of rain apparently will just be too much.
