    1. [OZMENT] Floyd Update from SC
    2. Chris and Frank
    3. Time for another update. Lights are beginning to flicker. Winds now steady 55 and gusting to over 60. Light damage in town so far, branches down, some awnings gone. So far, we are okay, snug as can be. Barometer keeps falling, now in 29.27. Our friend Dean has a few old timers over at his house in town and they are picking banjo's, singing, and tasting the Crown Royal. Rain now is over 4 inches since this morning and more to come. All the cars are now indoors, and a mandatory curfew begins at 7pm EST and last until 7AM tomorrow. Floyd track has appeared to spare us the center of the storm, but it is really howling. For Brent and Melissa, you built a great house. Not even an air leak at this point. As I crossed over the Tail Race Canal 15 minutes ago, some of the boats are starting to drag anchor. Several are now tied up to the Dock Restaurant (old Navy Pier) and seem to be faring okay. The worst is still to come. We still have electric so Chris is making dinner (pork chops, gravy and taters). Hope the electric lasts long enough for us to eat it. Well, maybe another update later tonight. Best to all. Later. Frank Frank and Chris Courtney Moncks Corner, SC
