I think it will hit the US fairly hard.
Evacuation orders should be followed.
First responders don’t respond when the storm is raging.
This morning’s forecast already has it down to C2 before landfall.
Tomorrow morning’s estimate will more than like be C1 or less at landfall, and I agree with at least part of another prediction, if it makes landfall, it will be in Georgia as a severe rain storm.
Meanwhile, in Central N.C. school is cancelled for the rest of week, even though it’s now a state away.
