Woke up this morning in Charleston thinking, "glad I don't have to go buy hurricane supplies for this one." Was at food lion an hour later buying hurricane supplies. Stay safe and War Eagle!

Latest track looking better for the Lowcountry but obviously it's going to be a tense week no matter what. Good luck to you and everyone. War Damn Eagle.

While I'm relieved that I'm probably out of the danger zone.....I hate that others are facing such a powerful storm. I'm praying for you and everyone else in the path of Dorian.

AUld fAUx@ 2,584 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Assume all within potential impacts are watching, but downright contrary damn' storm. Unhurried and slothful (down to 7mph travel) to the point of indecisive, and piggishly gluttonous (pressure crashed to 913 mb already). Prophylactic preparation and vigilant readiness to react probably called for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,075 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Yes with the game last night etc, I was busy with all the post game videos to watch. Checked on storm and just in awe. 185mph 911 mb cat 5 monster! Those on East coast of Florida, please consider leaving the coast despite reports if staying off shore. Keep in mind storms this large can wobble, especially during the stall/turn. Don't be caught by the shift. Hope this carries out to sea without landfall, something that wasn't a thought a few days ago. Blessed that the chances are better for that now. God bless you all and stay safe!

AuMarine 1,372 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 In the low country of South Carolina. Hoping this storm stays off shore and doesn’t hit anyone .. realistically I am waiting until it leaves Bahamas and see if or when it starts tracking north. Stay safe my friends. This storm is a monster.. WDE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oracle79 3,569 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Interesting fact I heard on one of the weather channels yesterday. In recorded history, a hurricane has never made landfall on Florida's east coast north of Stuart. Now, take that hard right turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of my neighbors lost their roofs during the last one though. If Dorian does the expected and runs up the coast I think roof damage is my biggest threat. I did have a tree fall and hit my deck a few years ago so that is a concern too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 How we doing fam? We evacuated to Rock Hill SC. Long story. Now just watching and waiting and back to hoping for an eastward turn or at least not a westward one. Very much inside the cone. Hilton Head will have flooding and at least some power outage. Those are a given. Tides were already high this week and we might get a really unfortunate combo meal with tonight's high tide coinciding with torrential rains and storm surge. Just hoping for flooding of the variety that blocks roads and not the kind that ruins buildings. Trying not to think about wind damage. Glad we aren't in northern Bahamas but could be dealing with some inconveniences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunInRed 16,404 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Missed us as well - total non-event ... not really even wind or much rain ... crazy considering it sat about 90 miles off our coast for two days. Hope everyone along the cost more north fairs the same ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buildings at the top of the photo were known as the Field House. Both teams suited up there and would come running out on the field at game time. As everybody knows we won the National Championship that year. Woody Hayes of Ohio State made a lot of noise about Ohio State should have won but the good guys won anyway. He was a good coach but a real jerk. Some of you here might remember he hit a Clemson player when the player was out of bounds in a bowl game, can't remember which bowl game it was. He retired after that as well he should have. WDE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUsince72 11,084 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 We are blessed on the SW Gulf Coast. Outside of a little gust of wind here or there, as the very outer bands come across, we aren't having weather any different than any other summer day. Y'all stay safe, up in The Carolinas & God bless!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnEagle79 2,165 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Today has been a wet one in Charleston and the storm is t even really here yet. Expecting some decent flooding downtown but hopefully won't be as bad in suburbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
