What kind of house is this a tree house? :) I'm confused :roll:

Pilings. Houses on Pilings sway a little in the wind. Kind of like tall buildings. It can be very disconcerting the first time. The weather is not that bad. N Easters blow this hard sometimes.

Sorry just trying to describe how fast the wind is at my location. I need an anemometer I think. Maybe next time.

Winds about 15-18 MPH and raining steady. 5.71" of rain over the last 24 Hrs. Streets and roads have minor flooding now, but as streams swell we can expect more serious flooding......

Lots of flooding throghout Wilmington. Landfall community has several streets that are impassable. Gordon road neighborhoods had dozens of cars just parked in yards and side of roads where people just walked home through waist deep water in spots. Oh, my kids say the Pete Dye course has a number of new significant water holes!!!

Hang in there folks. I'm a Florida transplant from NC but that's still HOME. I grew up in High Point and Winston Salem but my summers were always spent at Ft Caswell down on Oak Island.
