Hanna please stay away, we don't need you at all. We have plenty of water for now. Please don't give us anymore.
Its Ike we need to start worrying about...
Also Josaphine is following up behind Ike now. As long as they have all done their deed by the time we arrive in Florida mid Oct I have no problems with teh storms LOL.

Yeah, thanks!![]()

Luckily, the track has shifted a little bit eastward throughout the day today, so we might get lucky and be on the western side of the storm. Despite the next couple of days that we are expecting with Hanna, it's Ike that actually worries me. I don't like that his track is turning northward and that he's already a Cat4. We have been lucky enough to go several years around here without a storm, but everyone still remembers being flooded by Floyd in '99. Wishing pixie dust
for everyone in the path of these three looming storms. Our family will have you in our thoughts!

Luckily! Luckily? Lucky for you, but I'm to the east! Just kidding, I'm really not worried about Hanna, she's weak, disorganized and moving fast. Chances are I will sleep right through the whole thing. We expect 2" of rain and some moderate gusts here in Raleigh, but not much more. Even in Wilmington they are only expecting 4" of rain. The real threat is that she's hitting at high tide so the storm surge may cause problems for low-lying coastal areas.
). Definitely lucky for us, but it has definitely canceled our camping trip to the Outer Banks for the weekend.
We're a bit farther east than you and in the 4-5" rain zone here in Greenville and they're closing the college where I teach at 3pm this afternoon. The center is expected to pass about 20 miles to the east of us as it currently stands, so we should be able to avoid the worst of what Hanna brings to NC. My friends in Wilmington live right on the sound, so they'll be keeping an eye on the tides and storm surge, but they're not particularly worried either. I'm sure time will tell, but I doubt I'll sleep much tonight.
