Hurricane remnants have been known to bring flooding to the Carolina Piedmont.
Paybacks can be a be-yotch.
Just sayin’.
Charlotte didn’t fare so well with Hugo, but that took a perfect scenerio that this storm isn’t likely to take: a full inland push from Charleston with a Cat 5 storm. If this one affects NC, it will likely be either a coastal runner or an Outer Banks brush and Charlotte probably won’t get the first drop of rain from it.
The Charlotte metro area hasn’t gotten hit hard by hurricane remnants since Hugo in 1989. Since I live here now (about 20 miles northeast), I don’t want a tropical storm coming over my head. Now, four days of good soaking rain between September 4 and 7, that I could easily live with since I work from home anyway. :)
