185 mph sustained winds. Is there a category really for that?

1. Did they say anything about NC?

We have family there. I wasn't watching any news until just now. Last I knew (last night) it was on a northern projection and expected to miss Florida.

3. I am in NC

We are up in the mountains til tomorrow-

Lots of FL folks up here now. Heading back to the piedmont tomorrow morning. I think the coastal areas are going to get hit, and flood, right now the rest of the state seems to be OK in the current forecast.

6. My husband has 2 sisters

who live in pretty solid homes in the Raleigh/Durham area. I never worry about them too much. But my sister is in Jacksonville. I don't really know the area other than it looks close to the coast on a map. I guess I should give her a call.

Stay safe.

7. We are pretty aware in NC

We live over 150 miles inland, but I'm still going to do the laundry, make sure the pets have plenty of food, etc. We missed two days of school last year thanks to a hurricane- this far inland.

The coastal flooding last year was a damned mess.

5. Nothing is certain yet about the path.

They keep saying to watch the updates. This storm is unprecedented and unpredictable. The path could be anywhere close to the "cone" shown on TV. Pay attention also to local news and warnings.

Best wishes to you and your family.

2. How the hell does he still have internet to upload that to Twitter?

Damn......The Bahamas are going to be denuded.

4. You mean, the gods that could prevent all of this damage in the first place?

IF SENDING PRAYERS WORKED, THERE WOULD BE NO HURRICANES.
