I have HBO channel from my cable company, so I was able to watch HBO On Demand episodes. Haven't read the books. The acting was excellent from everyone.

We're fine - we're a little north of the Triangle, so our worst weather was Sunday/Monday - I think we had about 5" rain total so nothing compared to others. I couldn't drive to work on Monday due to flooded roads (I work in Durham, it was raining blindingly hard at 7am, after I hit the 4th flooded road, I turned around and drove back home and worked from home, just like Thurs & Friday when the campus was closed but nothing happened....Slow moving storm!) We had power flicker a couple times, and I lost internet (satellite) for an hour or so, but otherwise no problems. Glad you're ok! My in-laws primary residence is Oak Island, and of course, they can't get back there now to see the damages. I think the bridge re-opened yesterday, but I don't think there's a route from here to there open yet.... We were on vacation and flying home on Sept 12 (last Wed) so our flight was full of people on standby trying to get back before the storm hit. My in-laws told us the grocery stores near us were sold out, so we stopped at a store on the way home from airport and they had been restocked - had plenty of milk & eggs. But no bread ? So no Hurricane French Toast for us. Was able to do the rest of a quick "I've been gone 2 weeks and my fridge is empty" shopping though. Floyd was my first major storm in NC, 1999. And it was a very wet storm, I thought it was the worst thing I'd ever seen. This is worse.

I am headed to Hamilton on the tour through Charlotte next month! I am a season ticket holder so I thankfully automatically got seats. Bonus I was aseason ticket lottery winner and had the opportunity to buy two more. I am really really excited!!! Next year Dear Evan Hanson will be here, and I cannot wait for that either. I love the mashup song with Hamilton that they did for Hurricane Irma last year...

I tuned out after the opening was just SNL people over and over. I love that they own their jokes no matter what, but they were super bad. Hoya is outside Raleigh, who I think faired okay, maybe some power outages. I am outside Charlotte and except for Sunday when all three main arteries out of my neighborhood were flooded, we were fine. My Husband works during the week in Fayetteville and his apt was evacuated. It is devastating in Wilmington and the southeastern part of the State.

Harry Potter!!! Just because I loved it

Over 5 million chickens have drowned so far. Can't remember how many billions in damages the last estimate I heard was.....Knock wood, not so many deaths. I think the rivers have all crested by now and should be receding, so people will really start going back/in to assess damage (and of course, potentially discover more deaths....) Also, hurricane season goes until Nov 30, so.....
