Gotcha. What are winds like there shaggy? Best estimate? Exceeding your expectations or no? I'm up to 5.5" now pouring hard and no wind to speak of. Soon though it will get crazy!

when that line of storms hit we gusting 50-60. trampoline went flying in my neighbors yard. outside of that squall its been gusting 40ish
One thing, though: Shaggy was correct about the big orange "fire hose' of rain never getting back here to us. Heavy rain is pivoting out. I'm done with orange and yellows here at my house. It's all greens from here on out. Still only 6.79" in my gauge, so no double digits in my future.
On the other hand, in just the last few minutes the wind here has started roaring, and my temperature has taken a dive, to 66 degrees.

Really picking up here on the east side of Greenville near Simpson. A few gusts in the mid 30s I would say. Nothing too impressive yet but I know it's coming.

Well shaggy predicted max wind of 52mph gust for Greenville and the airport just measured 51 officially.. and the worst wind isn't supposed to get here until a few hours from now.

i was wrong i am getting solid upper 50's maybe 60's in gust.Roaring outside and if I didn't know better i'd say some of these gust could be approaching 70 but i can't see good enough to say that for sure.
