LITTLE OR NO SIGNIFICANT WEAKENING IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR UNTIL AFTER LANDFALL OCCURS. That means that people need to prepare their property as best they can, and then evacuate. There are no heroes who ride out a direct hit from a storm of this magnitude. Just fools.

And hopefully the folks further inland will prepare, too.

There are no heroes who ride out a direct hit from a storm of this magnitude. Just fools. Exactly. The waves on the atlantic coast have been overhead all week including some over 10+ feet and that's with the storm several hundred miles off shore. There is virtually no coastal seawall like Galveston's either - just lots of dunes. Somebody who lives near the coast would have to be insane to try to sit through this one.

I'm right on the left-hand edge of the forecast track, sorta where SC, GA, and NC come together.
Better stock up on beer and gasoline, just in case.

Nothing to weaken it in its path; and the Gulf Stream may just strengthen it.
Look at this:

I live in VA Beach and if this storm is still on it's current track come Wednesday night, I'm bugging out.

There are always those who insist on staying behind in order to protect their property from the hurricane. I can't imagine what they think they can do to protect their property once the storm hits.
