[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 455577, member: 1514"] Lisa...we like our knowing. Actually, those of us down here in the south can probably watch the storms out in the atlantic and do as well at predicting where they are heading as the weather folks. From the time we saw it we said it wasnt going to hit the Myrtle Beach coast which is the place that will normally hit us the hardest. If it hits anywhere between Myrtle beach and Wilmington, I am in the danger zone. Right now, I will probably only get heavy rain and maybe 20 to 30 mph winds. I can handle that with ease. If you have noticed, I have been saying since Monday...its heading up the I95 corridor. The eye may go over the coastline but this thing is huge and the major winds go counter clockwise and if this sucker is over 200 miles to the east...well...that puts cities like Richmond, Difficult Child, Phillie, Baltimore, NJ, etc in its path. NYC is going to be a mess. The subways and trains will most likely flood. If the winds are high enough the glass will break in the taller buildings. I was in Greensboro NC when Hugo hit in 1989 (or was it 90) and it had gone down to a tropical storm by that time and it took down windows and traffic signs along the roads. Those huge green signs along the interstates? They were ripped out of the roads. Already NE is getting soaked with rain today. Trees are going to be ready to fall. Its gonna happen. Ohhh...and its a new moon! So not a good thing. I have lived in hurricane alley since 1983 so I have gotten used to this and so when I get to telling people something...listen. [/QUOTE]
