    Mandatory evacuations. I don't like the sound of that!

    I remember a few years ago New England closed down because of a supposed blizzard due to clobber the area. The subway was closed for the first time in history. New York only got a couple inches of snow from that storm.

    If a person chooses to purchase property on the coast, expect severe storms. If they choose to purchase on a river expect floods. If purchase in Tornado alley expect tornadoes. If you move to Vegas, California, Denver, expect water shortages. If you move to a place like New Orleans that is built under sea level expect to be flooded.

    Don't expect the rest of the country to feel your pain for the choices you made.

    I have close relatives in the area. One of them is in a mandatory evacuation zone. They left Tuesday.

    I live in NC it looks like I am just outside of the "cone" We are preping for rains today by digging some trenches to divert the water away from the house to the creek. I live on a hill top but there is a creek running though my property so I know the creek could flood.

    Nobody out here is enforcing the evacuations. They are just clear that if you get stranded on your roof you are probably going to be waiting for a rescue for some time.

    I’m 50/50 on whether to leave my house. New Bern is going to eat the brunt of this because the wide Neuse River will be surging as the smaller Neuse and Trent rivers will have nowhere to empty into. The police department abandoned the police station. They are expecting water 9’ higher than normal. I could go cramp into the hospital with the wife and ride it out there, but I have a really hard time leaving my house and dog. If it starts to flood bad I’ll end up wishing I had left I bet. Can’t get to a final decision as i keep flip flopping like a Romney

    For the fact it’s already hitting us with the outer bands, they are not expecting landfall for another 36 hours.

    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    I’m staying put. Shelter in place should be well supplied for at least a week before I need out, unless complete flooding occurs at my house.

    Tornados now

    With Florence stalling there will be a lot of rain. Ride that storm out.

    “The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner

    I have looked after some in a Storm. None of my own.

    Looked after some old folks too...

    Storms can bring communities together,,,

    I would recommend getting children into shelter.

    edit;
    All of my critters have survived the storms with me.
    Though Clyde went through Wilma outdoors,,, by his choice..

    They are staging as far back as the Piedmont. Loaded up at hotels in Hickory, N.C.

    It’s a lot different than being a dad with a wife and young children. My nephew took his family well inland to extended family.

    I agree about communities coming together. Nashville was all but ingnored in 2010. We couldn’t even get our elected representatives to come take a look. We learned a lot from that experience. We live on a hill and people on our block had runoff flooding because we got so much rain.

    Your cat is beautiful. I’m not a cat person, but that is a beautiful animal.

    Many over the years. Companions and friends.

    These two friends are still with us,,in Washington.

    Good luck everyone to the south of me, hang in there.
    Crews from as far away as Canada are going south, let
    alone New England. It sounds like the storm will not go
    up the coast in any hurry. Flooding and power outages?
    Anyway. Hang in there. True grit. Tough it out but don't
    take foolish risks. Let's all get thru this as best we can!
