New thread with updated links for NC/SC/VA
Yesterday they said it was heading back out to sea and was no longer a concern.
Now you've done it...you've put VA in there. Sheesh! At least I'm in the western portion. Hey, Gabz and MoJo...batten down the hatches!
Thanks for this thread, NN
Yeah, well, the hurricane center has been a bit inconsistent with this one. Best guesses now -- and no, they're not firm -- is that this one could hit the S. Carolina coast on Tuesday. Possibly as a Cat 2 storm or low Cat 3.
Actually - what I heard yesterday was it was no longer a concern for Florida...they've been discussing this loop for days.
I'm pretty sure they did not
The three day forecast includes the SE portion of VA, and the five day forecast includes a whole lot more of VA...
To be fair to the NHC and all other forecasters, once a storm gets stationary -- particularly for multiple days -- all bets are off on final destinations!
This is the real reason Michael Brown was removed from Katrina.
Every day this week , there has been a different projection.
This is one confusing storm!
This storm has been loopy and mysterious...
I'm in Tidewater. I'm also surrounded by 90 ft. pines.
Ish.
Die, Opelia, Die!!!

Oh, we've been hit hard before, with flooding and trees down being the major damage. I had a huge old oak tree on the house with Isabel. Last year, one of the hurricanes caused major flooding here with no way to go anywhere for a couple of days. But I'm hugged on all sides by the Appalachian mountains, so am pretty well sheltered for the most part. Just call me an Appalachian American. ;-) (That's PC for hillbilly..grin.)
I'm Darn sure they did. They said it was heading northeast out into the atlantic.
But that was yesterday around 4pm. I haven't heard anything else till now. But I wasn't looking either.
Yikes...pines have shallow roots. At least my oaks are deep rooted. It takes some major twisting wind to pull them out. The one that fell was twisted, too, so I suspect we had a small tornado (common during bad weather here...usually small).
