Hurricane Earl

How is this coming along? lol

Nothing happening yet.

Looked at the news...still looks like its just going to be some showers.

well they said Fran was supposedly "just going to graze the coastline" and we in Raleigh were without power for 2 weeks because the damn eye went right over us! So I don't hold much stock in stupid weathermen when it comes to hurricanes!

Eh. We have gone 2 weeks with out power because of icestorms, tornados, etc. I think this will be just about like any other storm I'm used to I guess being in tornado alley kinda prepares you better.

Some people freak out around here about the "storms" we have. Seriously...I haven't seen one storm that compares to any of the storms we have in AR. Pansey's.

We will see! Hopefully they close base down that would be good!

that would be pretty sweet if they closed base down

It would! Lets see looks like its supposed to "hit" Friday early morning...maybe they will close it down Friday

I just want it to take out the office. That's all.

As long as it doesn't rain after Friday afternoon it can take out whatever it wants haha

What's the new news with the storm? I heard Outer Banks area?

they are evacuating certain parts of outer banks we still have a hurricane watch/warning here

Ya the outer banks are supposed to get some action.

We won't.

The islands are getting evacuated...but I think that should be mandatory anyway It is the island that is only accessible by ferry that is getting evacuated. They said if you live there long term and have a house that you are allowed to stay...its visitors they are evacuating. ?

Ya, only the visitors. However, even as a resident, my ass would be off there yesterday. It's only like 2 feet above sea level...and like a block wide.

Exactly. I was thinking...your STUPID if you just stay there...even if they say it isn't going to be bad I'd rather be safe than sorry!

But then again thats what happened during Katrina...they didn't leave they just stayed and got blown away! (Yes traffic was backed up but if they had left when warned they would have been far enough away to not get sucked into the sea!)

i dont think jville will get hit to hard

haha i came home and found a flyer on my door from AMCC saying be prepared for severe weather with a hurricane prep checklist

We had a flyer on our door too !

gotta love amcc.....the news is now saying onslow county is in a tropical storm warning/watch-not sure which one

Well we are in Chapel Hill right now so hopefully by the time we get home tomorrow it won't be to bad....until AFTER we get home

i dont think its supposed to start until late tomorrow night like 2 am or something like that...but my DH just told me that fox news said earl got stronger so i dont know if that would affect the timeline

It's a 4 right now. It looks like they adjusted the path slightly for more inland.

Glad I'm up here....

I want it to come.

I will strap myself to the house and scream "TAKE ME!!!"

dork.
