Hurricane Florence anyone?

Anyone in the projected path cone?
Looks like it’ll be a big one. Fingers crossed here in Charleston, SC.

Charleston : Schools are closed tomorrow until the end of the week here now. Looks like my office will close at noon tomorrow. Evacuation has been ordered and I-26 will have a lane reversal to get folks out as of noon tomorrow. Local petrol stations are chock-a-block at the mo’. As Matt says, I’m hunkering down. Been here 14 years and had a couple of close calls but this does seem big and the rain could be heavy. I have a friend in Wilmington, NC and they plan on staying put!
Stay tuned!

How's things looking, Gordon?

Hi Matt, thanks for asking. Nothing here in Charleston yet. Overcast and a breeze is picking up. Should be expecting rain later this evening and into tomorrow. Florence has just been downgraded to a tropical storm, so that's a step in the right direction.
I've had wetter and windier days when I lived in Cornwall...... (joking)
