    Sir, you need to go outside and get in your hammock right now.

    How's it going down there with all the hurricanes and what not?

    Hello from eastern NC. Both sets of grandparents hailed from Newport News. One set were raised in the tidewater region, other set "re"-settled there after moving around for a while. Great-grandparents were from Smithfield, VA and Eastern Shore area (Cape Charles).

    In theory, there's no difference between theory and reality.
    In reality, there is.

    Lots of rain. Some wind. The tidal flooding seems to be the biggest problem so far....

    I thought about "storm testing" my hammock last night then decided to have a beer and sit on the couch instead....

    Welcome from Spotsylvania, VA! We've got the wind and rain here, but missing the coastal flooding obviously.
