With each update, the forecast map keeps shifting further south.   Every school district in this part of the state already cancelled classes for Friday.. and most on Thursday.   All of the colleges are closed for thursday and friday.   The weather forecast for tomorrow is for a high of 80 degrees, sunny, with a small 20% chance of non-florence related rain.   Similar forecast for Friday.  Florence rain isnt expected here til the weekend.    Better safe than sorry in terms of all of the closures.

One good sign is I checked the traffic on Google Maps earlier in the afternoon ...and it showed a solid red line on most of Interstate 40 headed west into Greensboro.... and even a solid red line on US 70 headed this way... shows that alot of folk from down east have evacuated to safer land.   Wake Forest opened its arena to any evacuees.... and im sure other cities will as well.    Not everyone will be able to find a empty hotel room, and not everyone can afford to spend a few nights in a hotel.

On a personal note.... I was able to find a 24 pack of water at Walgreens this afternoon  :)      Then promptly dropped one bottle on the kitchen floor and it burst open :(          Im sure the stores are probably empty again by now...
