Looks like BAMD picked us...sure hope that moves back east and the other models don't join it.

Looks more like a glancing blow to Wilmington area:

Either way, remember the average diameter of hurricane force winds is 100 miles, gale force winds 300-400 miles.

We're booked to stay at Carolina Beach on the 14th/17th. With all the rain we've had from here to the coast lately, lot's of trees will be falling if it comes close to or onshore

ECMWF is calling for direct hit on Floriduh.

Better stock up on bread and milk......oh wait

Considering my track record of it raining pretty much every year I make it up to VA for my first weekend of bow season, that sucker isn't gonna go east.

I am supposed to be at Cape Lookout starting of 10/14 for a week of fishing. Even without a direct hit I bet they close the island due to flooding. I sure hope not

We all gonna die

 

[XJsavage]

Shit.... BAMD, the worst possible route would be the one it'll take.

Run quickly! Stock up on beer and TP!

Looks like it's coming inland, making landfall right at the border and heading up the I95 corridor.

They're giving rain all the way into Erwin TN for the weekend off this storm.

New image of what we can expect.........

 

[cbjeeper]

What's up with BAMS on the second map? Someone calling for it to hook a u turn back to Florida? No one's dumb enough to visit there twice!

This is why I just got back from town with 3 cases of lite and a full tank of fuel!

Nothing like a good storm to make people forget about their gluten allergy...

@AdamH they closed it today.

I bought a generator on CL today. Been meaning to for a while, better now than Friday or Saturday. Hope it's a good one, Yamaha 6600 watt electric start. I figure since I bought it, we won't lose power. If I didn't have one, we would certainly lose power...

Latest models have it shifted more towards the east. Good news if it holds true.

@AdamH they closed it today.
