now been upgraded to a Category 4 Hurricane:

As a Florida resident, this is nothing. Hurricanes really aren't that bad. It really along the shore line where you need to worry. Storm surges and flooding is the main problem. Tornadoes are worse. My brother is currently living in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. I'm just glad this one isn't headed toward us this time. It was a year ago when Irma ripped through the center of Florida. My landlord recently installed impact resistant windows which is huge. For anyone in North Carolina, be safe and prepare! Bottled water, batteries, non perishable foods. Get a camping stove and propane bottles to boil water if needed. Fill your bath tubs with water just in case. You can never be too prepared.

It is also supposed to stall and spin after making landfall. Catastrophic flooding very possible for much of the region.

Not that this important at all in these circumstances but last year UCF missed a game vs GTech because of the hurricane down there last year and will miss a game vs UNC this year. Losing opportunities to beat ACC teams is bad news for UCF. Having one fewer “data points” and SOS was justification for them not in the playoffs last year. Granted this year UNC may be the worst P5 team. Got hammered by an ECU team that got beat by FCS NCAT over the weekend.

"Please advise coaches and boosters that if they are giving recruits vehicles, they should be 4x4s, and the booster or coach should show the recruits how to engage 4-wheel drive in order that said recruit may drive safely during this weather emergency. Please do not contact your NCAA officials for help with questions regarding recruits and 4x4s, so that we can maintain a veneer of ignorance. Thank you for your cooperation."

Harvey says hello. Similarly, some forecasts suggest Florence or related fronts may head inland and hover over NC or VA for a few days. In areas already saturated from prior heavy rainfalls, Florence's potential 1-2 feet of rain could be quite something. Hence, coastal schools already closed with students evacuating and inland schools already initiating plans for student evacuations and weekend game cancellations.

The bottom joke?

The bottom joke?

Other than maybe storrsroars' comment or weak African rains tweet, there was an actual joke? OK, then it blew right past my head. Whoosh, not the 1st nor last time.

Yes mocking UNC for not having athletes go to class never gets old.

LOL unless you are a snowflake who blocked me and can’t see the joke.

Given NC and SC officials effectively told everyone to leave the Outer Banks and other immediate coastal areas in NC and northern SC, it's really no surprise. Limited highways and other roads; lots of departing people. Current Florence forecasts

It was listing when schools in the Carolinas were shutting down this week and said “UNC classes cancelled starting 1991”
