Well about 3am my window in my bedroom starts screaming at me quite loudly!
Scared the buhjeezus out of me, sat bolt upright from deep sleep.  Windows never done that before!  Of course I don't think it has had 50-70MPH gusts hitting it just right before either!  The screaming continued once about every 15-20 minutes.  Just often enough to assure that I wasn't getting back to sleep.  The was varying rain mixed with the high winds so I went around the house checking for ceiling leaks.  Didn't find any thank goodness!  I am sure I lost some shingles though.
 
Drive into work was actually worst than the big snow we just had.  lots of downed trees, limbs and power lines.  Gusts were strong enough to caUse you to loose control of your car so everybody was going SSSSSLLLLOOOWWW, myself included!  Weather alert is in effect till 10:30am today.
 
Drive  carefully everybody and stay safe!

Sounds about right.  Used to do that in Florida, Not too smart there!  By the time most Hurricanes reach NC they have lost a lot of their power.  Unless they happen to make landfall on NC coast. Shocked
