Ain't easy looking this eggstraordinary.

near raleigh's airport, the fema websites don't list it as a flood prone area, but this storm looks like it's making everything a flood prone area. i've been through some other hurricanes in florida and don't mind losing power, it's just the possible flooding that has me concerned now. job's letting me work from home the rest of the week at least so i have time to not illegally board up my windows :cool:

Lol, the forecast just has it sitting there on the coast for hours before it decides to finally make a proper landfall and whip around the Carolinas.

there was an earlier forecast a few pages back that showed it sitting in that insanely warm water off the coast just long enough to power up into a cat 3 or so and slam into Jacksonville lmao

Just a heads up that this probably won't happen, this model hasn't been great with this storm.

It will probably go inland a bit and then just sit there and dump rain and wind for like 2+ days

Fuck it.
It's supposed to land Thursday evening or Friday morning. Charlotte, and most of the inland areas, should see winds pick up Thursday morning. The coast is going to feel some pain as early as Wednesday morning. By Sunday there won't be much left of anything east of Raleigh.

I was worried for a second there but the prophecy is about some city named San Fransisco, instead of the very similarly named but extant San Francisco.

yep for real don't tape your windows

nail up a big sheet of OSB if you're concerned about wind/debris to keep the thing from shattering in the first place

but taping your windows just makes them more dangerous if they break because the shards will be much larger

Is there precedent for evacuating an entire state?

The video that went with this also had another picture for flooding, and the entire state of NC was covered by 'catastrophic flooding' warning.

If it goes north, more Virginia and WV get completely flooded. South, then both Carolina's get demolished.

My uncle who stayed behind in Wilmington (Leland) to look after my grandparents' house decided this morning to evacuate. He says it took 4 hours to drive up to Raleigh, there's no gas available anywhere, and hotels are expensive and most won't accept pets. So he decided to turn around and go home and ride out the storm. I hope he'll be OK.

Looks like wind gusts will be up to 150+ mph.

This is gonna be a wreck.

I'm worried the death count on this one might be really high, since the mountains will direct water out towards the sea and floods will hit people from the back who were already battered with wind from the front
