Lets hope thats the track she follows. Nothing against Ga and Ala but they need the rain and we sure dont.
This is gonna be a good one.
I’m 40 miles west of Charleston. We had 30” of rain in July and 15” in August. We have had 3” of rain the last two afternoons. If it continues the predicted path, most of our coast will be wiped out.
Pray for SC and NC.

Damn, thats about where we are here in Virginia. In August we were 10 inches above normal. Thats unheard of. Good luck to ya.
Can y'all send some our way? Haven't seen rain since May (horay for living in a near desert environment). 
No, it has rained nearly every day this summer in central AL. Lots of hay not getting cut this year because it Just. Won't. Quit. Raining. There may be other parts of AL that might need rain, but here we've had the two wettest summers I've ever seen in a row.
you guys are a resilient lot, but nonethe less, heed all warnings and we wish you the best...

I'm flying in to Greenville sc as we speak. Hope I get back out before all this mess hits. Thankfully it's quite a ways inland. Good luck to everyone on the coast!
An interesting link a buddy sent me. Scroll down about half way and click on the photo of the storm. It brings up a bunch more.

Almost 70 percent of Bojangles' restaurants are in Florence's path
About 69 percent of the chain's 766 restaurants are in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, according to an analysis by Bloomberg Intelligence. Zaxby's and Bloomin' Brands Inc. also have a significant presence in the states where the hurricane is expected to make landfall on Thursday or Friday.
Restaurants typically see a drop in demand leading up to big storms as consumers stock pantries and buy supplies to secure their homes. But some eateries, especially pizza chains, see a sales bump after the bad weather passes, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Jennifer Bartashus.
"You usually see a decline ahead and a little bit of a pick up after," she said. "The bigger question is how long restaurants may be closed and how much damage that may occur if they're in the direct path of the storm."
Shares of Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bojangles' dropped as much as 5 percent to $13.20 on Wednesday. The stock had gained 18 percent so far this year through Tuesday's close.

Serves 'em right for putting that stuff in their chicken to sterilize black guys. No wait, that was Church's!
The libs now claim Trump is to blame for Florence for not supporting climate change crazies...
wow

Everything will be fine. I hope. Roads are flooded but that happens in a good Nor'easter. Dock is under water. Backyard slowly disappearing. Blowing in 40's. Waters rising fast but has about 5 feet to go before I write my SS number on my forearm. Also under a tornado warning right now.
Just another day in paradise.
Can't drive around the hood now so I fixed a bloody mary and finished the leftover pizza.
We have one of the higher house here in the hood. And the shop. My Vette is parked in front of the Haas along with my truck. So I have a vested interest in everything there. I know several who probably have water in their lower levels right now. Just part of living here. This house was built in 2003 and Irene pushed 8" of water into the garage. That's 2' below my duct work. This will be pretty sporting but shouldn't get that bad. Just depends on how long the NE and E winds last. I'm expecting to lose power in the next few hours. I'm glad my wife insisted on replacing the generator.
Old Glory's taking a beating, but she's still there.
We've been largely spared so far. Had a tornado warning nearby a couple of hours ago, but no reports of anything on the ground.
It's looking like the largest impacts in Virginia will be in the next few days as the remnants move up the valleys and slam the remaining moisture against the Appalachian spine, effectively wringing it out.

Pics from 5 minutes outside my home town. I went to school with these folks.. Good people, and most are farmers.. I’m afraid the water will still rise.. Sad!! These folks need our prayers... I can’t even fathom what it would look like if it would have made a Cat 4 landing.

Just rejoined the world. Power and with it internet just came on. The short of it is 7 1/2' of storm surge here. 9 1/2' in my new home town of Oriental. Missing shingles in 4 places with water damage to go along. 1' of water in the garage and water got to within 3" of the shop. House is fine. A saga dealing with the generator but I won't bore you. We , all my neighbors, all feel very fortunate. Nothing time and money won't heal. There are many who have lost everything. There are many more who are in the process of losing everything with the flooding.
