To those in the Carolinas, Georgia and Virginia

We are there with you in spirit.

Fingers crossed!!!

For sure. I know a lot of folks in the potential path of the storm including many DISers. Stay safe. If they tell you to leave, do it. Load up the car and head west until it's safe to return.

This thing is just so unpredictable! I've never seen one change paths so drastically. We've gone back and forth on what is happening here (Upstate SC). Glad it's not going to be our Hugo! I did that one when I was 7!

 

[SorcererHeidi]

Hoping for the best for all in Florence's path. Please know you're in our thoughts, and let us know how you are, when you can!!

I hope everyone stays safe. People should try to check in as things progress.

We are inland NC and have family staying with us who evac'd from the coast and a BIL living in Wilmington, NC who is going to ride out the storm as he's a firefighter and working. We expect a LOT of rain here. Any areas that are prone to flooding WILL flood. We have a generator and are ready to tackle whatever comes our way.

 

[GreatLakes]

Stay safe....which means leave if you are able to and in the projected path. Possessions and things can be replaced, people can't.

Thanks for the well wishes. As the forecast keeps changing, I am not sure what to expect. We are prepared and waiting!

 

[Vernie822]

Thank you! We are a few hours inland in SC, expecting lots of rain and hopefully the wind isn't too bad. Thinking of everyone on the coast.

 

[LuvEeyore]

I live on the NC/VA line. Wind started this am. Rain has been intermittent this evening. Still have power.

Continuing to send positive vibes.

 

[CampbellzSoup]

Always sucks when storms come ... wish you all safety and positive energy

 

[LuvEeyore]

Thanks. The tropical depression is better than a hurricane or tropical storm. We have had 2-3 inches of rain since about 830am. Flash flood warnings are in effect for our area. This is much better than the Carolina’s have received.

Thanks for all, the positive vibes and prayers.

So far the damage at our house was a tree down in the yard and some water in the basement. The situation is more severe in NC and SC. A friend of mine from high school lives near the coast of NC. The house she rented ended up being 2+ feet in water. It is now going to have to have a major remodel and she cannot live in it. She is a teacher. This is more the norm in eastern NC
