Take care folks.

I love that my girlfriend left this morning on a plane to visit her best friend in Havelock, NC, which is RIGHT on the coast. They're gonna stick it out.

Hopefully Shepard Smith won't be blown over by this one. Remember when he went down on the air during Hurricane Rita?

As it looks now, I will get hit pretty hard, I'm about 5 miles inland from the shore. I have plenty to do battening down my place as well. Good luck and stay safe!!!!

Hopefully it will make an eastward turn and not hit us too hard....
It is only a Cat-2, but better be safe than sorry.

A Cat2 can wreak a lot of havoc and leave you without power. My family in the NYC area are clueless on how to prepare for this. They are getting videos - in case they lose satellite reception - rather than food/water/batteries.
