Ain’t too happy with the track but it has to go somewhere.
Can’t make everybody on the east coast happy.
On board for the ride.
I am really unhappy with this travel down the coast forecast; properties in Calabash and Myrtle Beach.
So here in Charleston I’ve been following it close. Latest is it’s going to make landfall somewhere and may stall and come down and hit us. Then of course it may not do any of that.
One thing I learned about the weather guessers is to never let them use the bathroom in your house. They go all over the place and may not even hit the toilet.
Wow, what I heard was it will be incredibly dangerous, insanely destructive, and catastrophic, even while weakening, all at the same time. But don’t let your eyes or observations or weather data fool you, because it is really more catastrophic than you or any normal human can discern.
And at the same time, Hillary was the most qualified and best candidate for President since George Washington.

My dad is in Kernersville, NC. Fortunately, he lives on high ground. Offering prayers for everybody anyways.c

Looks raggedy, but has plenty of time to reintensify.
Brief summary of this discussion: Hurricane has weakened but not strengthen. However, the inner-core and outer wind fields have continued to expand, resulting in an increase the cyclone's total energy, which will create a significant storm surge event.
There is a also a link for the possible storm surge. This map currently shows potential storm surge over 9 feet (red color on map. Link:

We were expecting stronger winds today than forecast yesterday, but, that has backed off.
We’ll probably put out a few more fenders, maybe pull the boat off the dock and hunker down.
We were going to strip off the dodger and some sun-tarps, but, we may not at this point.
Thanks for the ping, NN.
Had medical stuff for several hours and just got bck online.
My God, some of those graphics at the end of the last thread are speechless-making !
This is reminding me of Fran in ‘96. It weakened from Cat 4 to Cat 3, but the windfields doubled in size. Like Fran, this looks to track up he Cape Fear river. Unlike Fran, this one may stall out over NC.
I’m glad to be watching from a safe distance in Dallas.

Park extra cars in high rise car parks such as office buildings. Of course as for promission and give management contact info.
Ice coolers are great for storage of important papers. They keep water out and float so if you need to wade in high water everything stays dry.
Have cash, sometimes credit card machines are not working.
Travel light, you can't take everything.
Have insurance papers, phone numbers and call as soon as you know of damage. Insurance is a slow process so get ahead of others who wait. Take photos of all damages.
Be prepared for one week on your own, food, water, etc. With large areas of damage help is slow and need is great. So have the basics.

My concern are the Nuclear Reactors. N.C. has 4 reactors and 4 nuclear waste ponds, S.C. has 7 Nuclear Reactors and waste ponds as well. This could cause far more damage than mere hurricane rain and winds.
The ponds are kept cool by water swirling around them. If cold water can’t contain them, then the reactors and ponds can heat up and explode.
Keep praying!
They are asking for the Galveston experience. Good luck.
Looks like the storm is fizzling out.
Based on the Blame Trump Media, wouldn’t it be easier to just ask the POTUS where he plans on directing the Hurricane with his Weather Machine?
Best bet is that he found the old Bush-Rove Weather Machine abandoned in the Basement of the White House.
