Thread: Hurricane Florence

I'm going to be mostly offline in the next few days while I get ready for this storm, tie everything down and decide whether to stay or go when they call for evacuation of our little sandbar. We've been here for 15 years and have some exciting days listening to wind and rain, thunder and lightning, but have only left one time in 2003 for Isabel. If it's a Cat 3 and not a direct hit we'll stay. Right now which is too far in the future to tell, it looks like landfall will be 100 miles south of us. Just in case you are a storm watcher, we're in Nags Head, about where I've put the point of the arrow.

Keep a light on; I'll be back!

Take care. We lived in Virginia Beach 1985 - 1989, Gloria was a Cat 4 in 85, and Hugo a Cat 5 in 89. We moved back to the West Coast.

To you and anyone else in the path of this hurricane, stay safe.

Yes, As Bob said. Be careful. Life is a lot more important than things. Hope all will be good in the end. Stay safe!

My wife doesn't let me forget that in the moment a tornado was close to the house when we were living in Indiana, I grabbed my SR collection and put it in the basement!
Now the lone lifeboat found in the middle of the pacific with a hoard of straight razors aboard begins to make sense: "Women, children, and straight razors first!"

We were camping at the KOA in Cape Hattarass when we had to be evacuated as a result of hurricane Arthur. The photos of the campground 24 hours later were frightening.

We wish you folks in the Outer Banks and coastal areas all the best. Be safe.
