shenanigans Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 When are you supposed to get hit? My parents are in Ft Lauderdale until tomorrow. Hope they make it out before the storm or they might be delayed for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutzonborglum Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Yep. I'm right on the barrier islands of NC. Really hoping this thing changes course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Fingers crossed it stays parallel to the Florida coast. It's gonna be a nerve wracking week, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTacoMunster Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) I'm pretty much right on the coast in Myrtle Beach SC so we're looking at least 10 inches of rain and being on the "tornado" producing side of it. And the newer tracking models show it coming closer and closer to land sooooo be safe everyone. Make sure you get your milk and bread for those milk bread sammichs now!

We're not expecting to start feeling anything til around Wednesday mid-day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethingvinyl Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I lived my first twenty years in Florida. Then I moved to New Orleans in 2005, eight months before Katrina. Needless to say, I HATE HURRICANES! Good luck coastal friends! KingTacoMunster and Tommy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 stay safe south eastern coastal VCers. i remember the anxiety leading up to sandy. she sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deer Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 As someone who grew up in the Northeast I never went through anything terrible other than Sandy, which can't compare to some of the things the south has seen. Hope you all make it through safely. Best case it'll just brush the coast and turn, but always prepare for it making landfall just in case. I fear with simply its impact in Haiti and the Bahamas the name will already be a candidate for retirement. Hurricanes are scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himynameisShane Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 This is the Track I had a feeling it would take. I live in Virginia Beach so the storms usually go off the NC coast and The bad parts miss us, but we still get destroyed. If this is accurate, Then I could see our city basically shutting down for 3+ days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

converge88 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I'm supposed to be vacationing in the Outer Banks of NC for a week starting Saturday. I guess that's probably doomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 The latest track has it even further west now. That means we're definitely going to get hit by at least the outer bands and whatnot. It's gonna suck all day Thursday and well into the night. That means that the Henry Rollins show on Thursday night will potentially be postponed or cancelled. Honestly...It'd be pretty irresponsible of the venue to still hold the event in the midst of a storm like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Pretty much everyone here is in panic mode already. I still think it won't make landfall in Florida but it will get nasty. I already had to pledge to my boss that I will be available for emergency broadcasts even if there are evacuations ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
