GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Governor Pat McCrory declared a state of emergency for all 100 counties ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Joaquin -- a category 4 storm.
“We’re hoping for the best, but hope is not preparation nor is it a plan,” Governor McCrory said. “I’ve ordered all state agencies to begin preparation for the severe weather, particularly flooding, that is going hit just about every corner of the state during the next few days."
McCrory asked that everyone stay away from flooded areas because most storm-related deaths are due to drowning.
“Regardless of the impacts of Hurricane Joaquin, North Carolina has the potential for life-threatening flooding,” cautioned Franklin Perry, the public safety secretary. “We want everyone to remember to ‘Turn around, don’t drown.'”

Well, a couple days ago, it was predicted to hit DC, but Satan is steering it out to sea instead.
Poetic.
“If you love near a flowing water, beware.”
It’s like doing it standing up in a canoe. If you’re good, no problem.
“Well, a couple days ago, it was predicted to hit DC, but Satan is steering it out to sea instead.”
Yeah, that track put it through my backyard in Maryland. We’ve already gotten many inches of rain from a Nor’easter the past few days. A hurricane on top of that would have been a disaster.
Yes, we know but the joke went over your head.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
