Hurricane Helene

We got hit pretty bad here. No power since early Friday morning and probably won't be back for another couple days. We lost water for a day or so but it's back. My neighborhood was fortunate, all the trees are far away from the houses but some got some shingles ripped off and there are downed trees all over the place. Power has been out for basically the whole city, had to drive 30 minutes away just to find a grocery store that wasn't closed or swarmed with huge lines of people out front.

My wife has a friend a bit south of Charlotte where apparently everything is fine, we might head up there for a couple days at least until we get power back at our house. Lots of people around us are running small backup generators but I didn't have the foresight to get one and obviously now trying to buy one in this area is going to be a pain.
