The Cajun Navy is not the government, therefore the media gives it as little attention as possible. We cannot be having self-sufficient and independent groups of people successfully working together without the government giving the orders. Therefore, the media whitewashes a lot of disasters in places like Texas. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted: @safe1 I'd suggest you have your friend convince him to read up a little bit. Storm surge mapping models have that area under water if I'm looking at it correctly. Looks like a pretty good chance he'll be, at best case scenario, isolated for a few days. I'd scoot my ass out of there and not put my family at risk... https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/2980/Capture-668582.JPG |

Just a heads up for anyone heading into western NC area.
I saw at least 2 gas stations east of Asheville out of fuel except for 93 octane and people were lining up for it The farther west towards TN you go no problems with gas as of yet,but I-40 is much busier than normal with mostly GA,SC tags |

My 92 year old neighbors son lives near Wilmington about 12mi from the ocean, he's riding it out. Told his dad he didn't feel like packing up the dogs to leave. Guess he might just drown with the dogs and all

I'd do it. As I said a few posts up, the models are coming together on a solution that soaks your area. Besides, extra gas isn't a bad thing and won't go to waste. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
I'm on the fence in terms of prep. I'm in Charlotte and it looks like if the storm tracks to the North after landfall we will get rain. If it tracks a bit south we will get HUGE rain. That means the possibility of downed trees and power outages. We lost power for 13 days when Hugo came to visit. I have a generator now, but I can't decide on if I should stock up on gas. Yeah I know, first world problem. HOWEVER, let me take a second to rant. I buy alcohol-free gas for mowers and the generator. There is one island, 4 pumps, that has alcohol-free. when I pull up there are three of the pumps blocked and no one in the cars. One girl comes out packing lunch for 2, no gas. Another guys comes out and sits in his car talking on the phone. NO gas. They are just parking in the shade. I hate people. The 4th pump was being used by Granny. My 90 yr old mother lives right on the NC-SC line just a mile or less inland. One sister lives in Myrtle Beach. Another sister lives just outside of Fayetteville. Her son, wife and kid are leaving Wilmington to stay with sis, plus my mother. They will have a house full. I hope they don't flood. |

God be with you all.
If you live on or near the coastline- and you can still leave- then leave. "But it might miss us!" I hope to God it gutterballs right back in to the watery hell it came from. But this is not worth the gamble, it isn't worth the risk. You have NOTHING to lose by leaving- you have EVERYTHING to lose if you roll the dice and end up in it's path. |

Traffic is always bad on that stretch of road during normal times. I-40 is the best way to get through Asheville. |

God why do people make such dumb decisions? at times people get to a age where they just don't give a shit anymore. I personally don't get it but it seems like every time we have one of these thread there are a few 90+ family members or friends that refuse to leave.  my great grandparents were that way when they were alive in Virginia. The grandfather was already stubborn as shit but when they got over 95 the give-o-fuck meter went to zero and they stayed. (and they would flood after 30 seconds of a mild rain, much less the water from a hurricane.) |

I keep reading people are going to head that way after the storm to to find their love ones and help them clean up and so on. Where the eye comes ashore their is not going to be anything left. Clean up will be with loaders and trucks. For days rescuers will be combing the ruins with cadaver dogs looking for bodies. The National Guard will be there directing traffic and on patrol helping law enforcement. Their will be police from half of the states in America teaming up with local police. Their will be check points on main highways Curfews at night.
Long gas lines maybe a mile and a half long and you better have cash. Their will be people standing at the pumps getting the money first before a drop is pumped and then only so much. When Katrina came ashore it lifted huge casinos from their moorings and took them across state highway. Took down two bridges on highway 90 Ocean Springs and Bay St Louis. In a few weeks mold will be in the flooded houses septic tanks will be spewing the contents all over. What about all the pig farms in Carolina holding manure? Floods will spread all that shit all over. When the water goes down snakes will be in houses. It will take years to rebuild and some places will never be the same. I set here reading statements I"m going to ride this one out. Some of you are going to die. People who lived through Katrina get on here and tell what you went through in the first few months. I hope some of you stayers come to your senses and get out. You can pray but the wind and water are still going to come and lots of it. |

Lived in Wilmington during Hurricane Diana. I stayed and thought it would be fun. I went to the beach during 75 mph winds. It sobered me up quickly as to how dangerous the weather can be. It was not fun. When Hurricane Hugo headed our way, I got the heck out as fast as I could. Florence looks bad

I'll eat some crow here.
I was convinced the models were done dancing, the normal variance at less than 4 days is less than 100 miles. GFS and Euro seem to have gone drinking together and changed plans. Both are projecting a close approach at Wilmington, then a rampage down the coast to south carolina before fully making landfall I guess its a good example of why making preps early is good as a late projection shift can leave you unexpectedly under the bullseye.

Nobody knows for certain the direction that it is going to take yet. As it gets closer to shore, we'll have a better idea of what the inland path will look like- but even as it makes landfall, we'll probably be in for some asymmetric variance in movement that nobody was expecting.
Wherever you are in SC/NC/GA, prepare for the worst. The farther West you are, the better off you will be. If you are on the road heading West, keep going and don't look back. |
