I have been waiting on somebody to say "I would hit that"!
Have to lol at the ole deer and turkey planI have plenty of bullets and enough good bourbon to last awhile. My in laws asked my wife if we had been stocking up on water and food, my wife told them no my husband sticks up on bullets and powder they asked why she said we have deer and turkey and a water well and if it got bad enough I would go take what I needed from the peepers that don’t believe in guns.?
Dude that sucks, I will be pulling for you and your house.We, here in eastern NC, are about to get fucked dirty. I'm 85% finished building my new house. I just hope it weathers this storm well. A lot of God damn money and time on the line.
Those pussies will just leave town.My whole family is praying for a direct hit on DC as a cat 10. For the rest of you to the south good luck, the others to the north, well,,,,,,,,,,
Stay safe my east carolinas and va friends... I remember Hugo. My first hurricane. Thought it would be all hurricane parties and fun and stuff. It was not. I took them really seriously after that.
Be prepared... Hope You all come through it with your selves and homes intact!

Sometimes he refers to it as Pumphandle, and sometimes Hooterville. I've never been there, but I get the idea that it's one of those "Twin Cities" metropolitan areas: You know, "Pumphandle/Hooterville, IA", like "Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN.
Yeah. It's pretty much going to wring itself out over NC and VA. Still looking at 10 inches or more of rain at my place.

Certainly not our place, the garden isn't weedy enough.
Pond is gonna be full.
I was going to the gauley this weekend. Last time I went a number of years ago I was passed out when the rain hit during the night and was greeted by the meadow at 8000cfs at the confluence. It was game on! I'll think I'll stay home.There goes my river.

. It's been a while.
I'm beginning to think I have a leak somewhere. Going to check it closer this winter when I can survey behind the dam without fear of being stung, bitten, or attacked by whatever is living in that jungle.
A new Hide Member who is overseas and can't post online from his current location sent me this and asked me to post it on his behalf.
His handle is MK20 and here is what he asked me to post for him:
"I used to do weather forcasting in my previous job, and we would forecast internally for hurricanes a lot since we did a bunch of training in Florida.
The best website hurricane wise is tropicaltidbits.com. This guy will give you a much more nuanced and specific forecast than the news will. When planning your moves you need the best info possible and this website is what we used to use for real world forecasting stateside. He also has all of the models used by the National Hurricane Center if you care to really nerd out.
The general rules for hurricane forecasting that we used to play by were as follows:
1 day out: 90-100% accurate forecast for hurricane movement
2 days out: 75% accurate forecast for hurricane movement
3 days out: 30-40% accurate forecast for hurricane movement
>3 days out: SWAG (Scientific Wild Ass Guess)
We used these rules as a GENERAL Guideline for how much to trust the forecasts we would see on the news. What these rules boil down to in real life is that you don't know where the storm will actually hit until it is too late to do something about it. This is why early preparation (and if necessary, evacuation) is key even if you THINK you won't need it.
What kills most people is not winds but the storm surge and flooding. The worst storm surge, flooding, and weather will normally be located in the right front quadrant of the hurricane when viewed in relation to its line of movement. With Florence this means that the northwest quarter of the storm in relation to the eye is most likely to be the worst. This can change if the storm direction changes. NOTE that the "worst" effects are usually in the right front quadrant, but "normal" effects can still ruin your day. Plan accordingly.
If you pray, pray that the storm hits cool water and encounters wind shear (different wind directions narrowly stacked vertically) as these things will kill the storm quickly.
At this point I would prepare for the worst just to be safe. (And no, AJ, buying more ammo won't help. Well, it is a good excuse to use on the wife, so...)
I hope you fellow hide members will use the above to better inform your own personal decision making.
