Darn...this thing has taken a turn aimed for the extreme western Carolina mountains...according to the spaghetti models, I'll be seeing what's left.....probably not much wind at my place but a lot of rain... rivers might be over flowing...oh well, I'm up high.

CL82 just likes words and sometimes finds them funny. CL82 is not responsible for the things he posts due to a head injury he incurred as a child. If you are offended reading a CL82, please take that into account.

Very nice little town immediately south of Corolla which is where my family has a house. Slightly comforting that we are apparently just at the northern bound of the most recent warnings.

Also as the updates keep coming it looks like the forecast is pushing the storm further and further south once it hits land. Another good thing for us. Looking like SC may take the brunt of it

This is so awesome.

Wondered what the heck was awesome. Then I clicked the expand button.

Not sure if it was Andrew or an earlier hurricane; but, I distinctly remember a storm that ripped apart U Miami's campus and students were living in tents after, except for Jimmy Johnson's football team who were staying at the Ritz or something up in Ft. Lauderdale?

Apparently, there's more to the Waffle House index than initially meets the eyes.

I lived in Raleigh when Fran hit in 96.

We skipped town and went to Clemson to stay with some friends still in school.

First day I’m back home I’m getting the mail from the big bank of mailboxes in our complex. There is like a four foot snake that was about 18 different colors between me and the mail.

I left the mail to my roommates after that.

Classic NYP story though calling those ‘killer’ snakes. Get bit by a copperhead and you’ll have a painful few days but you aren’t going to die.

Can't you just roll with it??

In the middle of the disaster there has to be some humor. Enjoy.

I like how weather wonks chime in in his defense. Saying he was in the midst of 11 hours of coverage and his balance was fragile in the elements.

Gotta sell weather somehow
