The major problem here in C-ville will be, as always, flooding, downed trees and no power.

Many housing developments over the last decade have gone up in rural portions of the county. Consequently, roads and power lines to these areas were put in that did not take into consideration heavy rains or snows. Rural roads get flooded and power lines come down around here extremely easily due to falling tree limbs. I heard the power company has brought in "loaned" personnel from other states to take care of 'anticipated' outages.

Ditto here in Richmond. Flooding and falling trees are what I'm worried about. Our house is surrounded by trees and is in a somewhat low-lying area. We did ok through Floyd but I think Isabel is going to be worse.
