Wife just freaked out on me. Believed we had Volcano insurance but not flood insurance. Even called her dad to confirm. Was epic.

Stay safe, y'all. We're looking at some pretty heavy rain in DC, but nothing like you'll be getting down there.

Predicting the Hurricanes win, but Carolina loses

The slow movingness of this storm is the scary part. Basically with no gas in the Triangle, we're kind of stuck here, we have a full tank, but where can you go since the roads are crazy. We thought about driving out, but we're at the top of a hill in Apex, our house has a new roof, windows and siding, we had already this year cut down almost all of the trees that could do damage. We shall see what happens, we're stocked up and will hope for the best while staying interior and hope the long distance to here from the coast slows it down.

We’re going to ride it out in New Bern, should be interesting. Not too worried about flooding but I really don’t want to wake up spooning a pine tree. Anticipating not having power for a while.

Looks like latest track has a much less impact on the triangle.

But now it looks like Florence, SC is in the path of Florence.

I'll take Florence 6-0. Florence seems to be unstoppable.

Per WRAL, they are projecting 4-6" (4-8" in a 2nd model) of rain in Raleigh. On Thursday at 8 a.m., expect 5 to 10 mph winds. Those will increase to 15 mph winds at noon, 15 to 20 mph winds by 5 p.m. and 30 to 35 mph winds overnight. Winds will top out in the 40 to 45 mph range in Raleigh on Friday morning before weakening Saturday and Sunday.

If the current track holds, the Triangle should be spared the brunt of it. Although flooding, power loss, down trees, and potential tornadoes on the north side of the Hurricane are possibilities. The amount of rain some coastal areas are going to get is incredible.

We went from spared in Charlotte to hold onto our butts.

and of course, a slight wobble in the track could turn this from "nothing" to "something" really fast here. the models dont' really seem to know what to do with the storm once it stalls out, so plan for the worst and hope for the best.

As always when hurricanes are concerned.

Is that... a beer?

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Is that... a beer?

Yes, yes it is. Apparently they hadn't gotten word yet that @DaveG moved from Durham to Winston-Salem.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Is that... a beer?

Sure is.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Sure is.

So... Florence is going to do a 180 degree curve to avoid Durham while a giant mug of beer descends upon the city.

I always wondered what the end times would be like. This exceeds expectations.

my parents have a house on Oak Island. with the expected storm surge, for real that entire island might be **** underwater by the weekend. scary stuff.

At the end, there will be nashing of teeth, and chugging of beer.

The Bible says there won't be another cleansing by water like in Noah's time, but it doesn't mention beer.
