Well, shocked that the power is back (for now) but it seems like Ian is on his way out of here. Our fence and shingles are worse for wear but otherwise feeling extremely fortunate. Be safe NC and VA friends, that really sucked.

The end of the Pawleys Island pier has collapsed & is floating south.

Look at those clouds moving! Wind and rain are really picking up, our retention pond has gone from empty to half full already. Bonus commentary from excited toddler. Charleston Weather

Yo Charleston Weather it’s thundering?!

Dear God, please keep the power on long enough for me to microwave my Chipotle bowl for lunch. Love, K8.

All the macho men on our local weather threads all chiming in to insist they think this storm is weak. We females shudder in the presence of their testosterone.

It is already loud AF outside, measured 2.5 inches in my rain gauge so far, and we’ve had huge power flickers. I’m shocked we still have power.

And Stormy refuses to 💩 outside because he’s scared of the wind #poopstandoff #Ian

Since we are under a hurricane warning now, this feels like full permission to pull out the hurricane snacks. I also am batch prepping some cold brew coffee concentrate. Priorities 💫
