I was a member of Zion at one time myself (AMEZ). This church looks historic! It is historic for it's origins . It is unfortunately more known now for the horrible shooting that took place there last year . http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/18/us/charleston-emanuel-ame-church-history/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Is there some reason reporters have to stand in the rain and wind during the hurricane? "Yes, I am now standing in the hurricane in lots of rain and 100 mph wind. It hurts my face very much. Ow, ow, ow. That is all that is happening since everybody else evacuated. Back to you at the station..." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknoid Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Matthew has by and large passed for me. Still getting gusty winds and an occasional rain band but the worst is definitely behind me. The only damage I'm seeing locally is a few downed tree branches. The worst damage at my house was that my trash can got knocked over.I've been watching the local news feeds and it looks like the northern east coast of Florida is still getting hammered.

The other reporter was standing about 75' away out in a parking lot which looked totally different and they would cut back and forth between them, eventually showing both in one shot. Then they kind of explained why as if they were caught covering two different places. Just report the news and don't over dramatize it every time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted October 8, 2016 Moderators Share Posted October 8, 2016 It seems like the worst of this may be in the next 2-3 hours as it heads toward Savannah or a little North of there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 only been in one hurricane ... and i slept through it. Not sure how it compares to others; but, it was Hurricane Gloria. I was attending a Coast Guard school in Yorktown, VA. I think it was 1985. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I've only been in one too. Hurricane Ike made it all the way to Cincinnati. Albeit a Cat 0-1 by that time. We still lost a couple of 60-year old maples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I'm not very happy tonight. Eldest son is Law Enforcement in North Myrtle Beach. He parked his Chevy Silveraldo to protect it the best he could, but tree dropped on it on the side yard, on another side a tree is on the power lines. In the front yard a nice palm tree snapped in half. He has had to sleep at the fire department the last couple days. He said all the piers in the area (I think 6) were destroyed or were heavily damaged. He lives about 3 blocks from the beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
