Political differences aside, I wanted to take a minute to shout out to all of the east coasters on this forum that may be in the path of this hurricane. At this moment it is expected to be pretty bad. Be prepared, batten down the hatches and evacuate if necessary. Remember to make sure your pets are safe too! 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....

My parents are in Newport News. Hopefully they are either ready - or will go to my sister's place in MD.

Be safe, be prepared for 3 days of life support.

Hoping it goes East, we really aren't equipped for direct hits by hurricanes here in DC. Despite what my username would have you believe.
