States of the atmosphere pass into us as water through the meshes of a sieve, and storms occur in us before they break upon the world without, creating restless sensations. ("Absolute Evil")

This team is young and I think we are starting to learn how to weather the storms better.

North Carolina is particularly prone to weather-related emergencies -- from floods to hurricanes to ice storms.

It's just a different weather system, where the storms were a little more likely to have some rotation than produce a lot of wind. Last week's system had few tornadoes and a lot of wind.

The rivers are up to flood stage, but it's receding in between the storms. It's really strange weather right now. It'll come down in huge downpours, but then it just stops and subsides as the sun comes out. We were worried that the rain would just continue straight on without stopping, but everything is holding up fine now. It's nothing like it was earlier this year.

We look to have three more storms coming here. Crab fishing is a weather-permitting thing. I am getting my equipment ready for herring season.
