pumping water, but we have equipment ready for that to happen, but right now, it's not. you know, we've been through a couple of hurricanes here, not recently, thank goodness, but we're ready for it. >> all right, well, we're thinking of you. we know that you're really just in the beginning of all of this, buzz, and we really appreciate you talking to us. that was buzz jones, he is a small business owner of a heating and cooling company there in carolina beach, north carolina. and we want to go back now to cnn's alina machado. she is in wrightsville beach. alina, tell us about what you're seeing there. >> reporter: well, it's interesting. the wind seems to have died down just a little bit since the last time we chatted, but the rain's back, and that's why the red jacket's on again. and this is what we're going to be seeing, it seems, from what chad said. this is the trend here. we're going to see gusts, high wind gusts, we're going to see a lot of rain, and it's just going to not be much fun for people around here.
