Not only watching, but experiencing Gaston passing directly over central NC. Expecting 2-6" of rain. Wind gusts were to 32 mph, just enough to bring down a few trees to knock out power to 6500 homes. Local radar loops were fascinating to watch as Gaston came over. I just hope those radar loops don't show Frances next weekend if it comes towards NC..... Joe Bastardi should get an A+ for calling Gaston. He also mentioned on his video today that he thought Gaston could bring more rain than expected to the Tidewater area since it seems to be maintaining good structure over land.
