How is everyone doing?
It looks bad for those of you in NC/VA. Don't wait to get ready.

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
Glad I moved my elderly dad out of Savannah GA closer to us in NW GA. Last few years, wife had to make what seemed like the annual hurricane run to bring him north out of harms way. I do not miss being in hurricane alley. Stay safe.....
If it keeps on that track we are going to get a bunch more rain. We don't need any more rain here. My weather radio has been going off with flood warnings all day.
We could isolate Russia totally from the world and maybe they could apply for membership after 2000 years.
I am visiting my folks back east in CT, with a scheduled departure of Thurs AM. Really hoping it doesn't swing north...
My daughter's wedding in Norfolk on the 15th. I'm hoping there is a Norfolk.
My daughter lives in an apartment in Winchester, VA where she attends college. I'm expecting that area to get hammered with rain. I am in coastal Alabama where we are *still* contending with daily downpours post-Gorden. (My yard is a friggin' bog.) Can't win...
Ready. Went to Walmart weeks ago and got enough water to last a week. Buckets will get filled Wednesday so we can flush. I have enough moist wipes to last a couple weeks. Other than that there is not much else I do. The transplants here have lost their damn minds. The grocery store was crazy around 10 this morning. I’m so glad I had already stockpiled my supplies.
My wife and I will likely get called in to work... I hate hurricanes that start with the letter “F”. I worked Hurricane Fran in 1996 and Hurricane Floyd in 1999. There have been others of course but the wind from Fran was bad. I was literally still on the road trying to get to the PD but trees, poles, and power lines almost stopped that from happening.
In Floyd, the flooding exceeded the 500 year flood levels...eastern NC was a swamp. Hurricane Dennis dumped a lot of rain just prior to Floyd, then Irene (fucking Irene...) after Floyd added to that. I couldn’t get anywhere without having to go way out of my way.
In case anyone doesn’t get “Irene”
