A buddy said it looked like they were going to get hit pretty hard down near Elizabeth City.

 

[SFGator]

I bet it goes further out to sea and doesn't land in NC.

 

[mw312003]

Well I think most of the east coast will get hit pretty hard from north Florida through the Carolina's.

It apparently wasn't as bad as it could have been, snotpile of rain and wind, trees down everywhere, but didn't get the big water surge they were worried about, e.g. flooding hasn't been so bad.
