Sporting events in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and possibly Florida and Virginia, may be impacted the weekend of Sept 15-16 and even Friday September 14.
Thanks for the thread!
Originally this storm was to stay East and North of Bermuda, and now it is projected to go 'way South' of Bermuda as it heads West...
Joe Bastardi has been right on target with Florence for quite sometime now. Everyone else is just catching up.
Prayers up!!!
Florence is NOT a hurricane yet. Vanity title is misleading.
That said the family in Wilmington and Hatteras are preparing.
Al Gore has been spotted pouring more hot water in the path of the storm so it will strengthen.
Man, I really hope this thing turns north and hits DC instead of the South.

Here's the latest from Fox News.
I’m pondering, packing and praying.
Thx and God bless all my lowcountry neighbors.
Tropical Tidbits is my favorite tropical weather website.

His youtube presesntations whenever there’s an active storm are second to none. There’s also many good maps, models, and satellite loops on the site as well.

I don’t see GA being impacted on the map...
Repairs to our neighbor’s house that was smashed by the September 2017 hurricane aren’t completed yet....Two new houses have been started and completed in that period of time in the neighborhood.
I’m well inland in NC and as the evening progressed tonight it did start to feel as if a storm was building off the coast. Getting breezy, misty drizzle interspersed with heavier rain (loose bands) and warm. A lot can happen between now and any landfall however, and these storms are notoriously capricious, I say this on every hurricane thread. So, I’m saying it on this one. At least there’s no officious thread monitor attempting to be gatekeeper on what can and cannot be said, yet. I’m sorry, but that’s obnoxious and overbearing behavior.
Dragging up dire comparisons to past worst case storms is not helpful and not terribly likely, however. The NC coast gets hurricanes fairly regularly, I’ve driven the length of the OBX from Kitty Hawk to Ocracoke mere days after one, have driven over the temporary steel plate bridges over newly cut inlets, have seen the houses fallen into the Atlantic, the campers and park models reduced to wreckage lining the sides of Highway 12 waiting to be hauled away, dune lines blown into the highway, which has to be plowed to keep the road open, etcetera.
Even if it does hit here, it’s normal. It’s happened for centuries, throughout recorded history. It’s a tough place, with tough people, recently relocated northeasterners notwithstanding.
So, dialing down the panic-inducing talk going forward would be advisable.
