    Yea, they have estimated rain totals on the coastal areas here in the 11-13" range, going to be awful on the east here.

    I literally just went on the weather channel website, checked the storms path, and is supposed to smash into Ocean County as a Cat 1 Hurricane (65mph). Unless they changed it in the last 3 mins, I'm not scared.

    8-12 inches of rain here plus the ocean and bay rising is something to worry about for me.

    Especially with a two year old.

    Everyone bitched about the idiots who stayed in New Orleans during Katrina.

    You have several days to get out of the way of this. Put your collective dicks back into your pants and GTFO.

    There is nothing more emasculating running away from a little rain storm. Lol @ evacuations. I'm pretty sure I'll be drinking some beer and tossing the frisbee around.

    I would understand if we lived in one of the costal countys, but we dont. We would probably need 3 feet of rain before out house floods.

    I know, but still I always find it difficult to muster sympathy for people who have days to get out harms way and then complain when it's worse than expected.

    Great point for the storm surge. They estimate landfall 2:00p or so Saturday for the Beaufort/Carteret area and low tide is 12:27p, that will help some.

    Where I live the bay high tide can be a few feet higher than low tide and the drainage system around me sucks.

    The last time we had a bad storm, it thunderstormed hard for like 5 or 6 hours, dumped maybe 3 inches of rain and there was at leasta foot of water in the road.

    So yea, it does matter.

    Ummm I wouldnt worry about the wind, i would worry about the rain.

    Ive been through a bunch of them including Andrew and I fucking hate them, fuck hurricanes...Anyone talking about hurricane parties and shit hasn't been through a real one, they can fuck up your life for weeks...months

    Anyone who is not evacuating make sure you got your supplies, dont take it ,lightly. better to be prepared thent be fucked if your house floods and power goes out. Best of luck. You are talking about an obscene amount of rain in an extremely short period of time.

    It is true the first day or so after Katrina in New Orleans it wasn't that bad. It wasn't until the levees broke that all hell broke loose


    Funny thing is that when I was little I used to be very into tornadoes and hurricanes. I had this National Geographic video on them. Last 10 minutes of the video spoke about what would happen if a major hurricane hit New Orleans. They had computer mock ups of the levees breaking and widespread destruction...pretty much predicted it to the t.

    Also above when I said don't worry the wind, that is mostly in reference to those saying it will come in as a cat 1 which it very well may. If it comes in anywhere with over 100mph, then I would definitely be worrying about the wind. Not to mention the tornadoes. They are not tornadoes in the traditional sense...there are many more of them and they are much quicker in duration. In my neighborhood after Andrew there were random houses or lines of houses that were leveled and the house next to it just had medium damage because of these quick, smaller tornadoes
