Well, she's a cat4. I'm inland, so I won't have any problems, but you west coast friends might be in for a ride, especially if she turns. Stay safe.

No floaties.  I might go to my gf's if the power goes out.

I'm pretty far from the storm, in Daytona Beach, and it's already getting gusts well into the forties.

It was gnarly this morning on the way to school drop off. We are way out of the way but the ground is pretty saturated with all the rain we have been having. 

Stay safe on the west coast.

Unless it turns, we'll just get the fringes. Last night the wind started, but it was actually really nice. Dropped the temp by about 8 degrees, and blew the humidity out of here. As I type this, the skies are getting darker and the trees are getting a little bendy. 
I sure hope for no more damage. Still waiting for that insurance company that has my best interests at heart to pay up from Ian, almost 2 years ago to the day lol.

Yeah I was a little surprised how blustery it was today, then I looked at the wind map and saw what a heckin' chonker this thing was.

I'm only about 45min east of y'all and if this thing turns...... We have big drama.

We literally just got the first rain. It's blowing hard right this minute.

Pretty much same for me as for JG as we’re only a few miles apart. I’m just a little closer to the ocean. 

Yeah, not fun and don’t feel good that I’m a little relieved that it’s not aiming right at us. Already offered space to friends on the other coast.

Sign of how big this is: Hearing from friends up in Georgia who are seriously concerned for their own dryness.

You mean west, right? Or are you currently offshore fishing?

In reply to David S. Wallens :

I see they are calling for 8"-16" of rain in the mountains of NC. I think there is going to be plenty of wet to go around. My parents might have to swim across the creek.

Hey, what are you guys doing down in Florida sending this stuff to Tennessee?! We do need the rain, though. We've been in a drought and started having some significant forest fires. Thanks, but send in smaller, more frequent doses instead. laugh

Jacksonville does seem to be teflon-coated when it comes to hurricanes.

Headed right for my folks on the east side of TLH. That will be the second hurricane of the year and the tornado from the spring adds up to lots of trees/limbs down. They have the generator, food, water, and the neighbor that does tree work, so they should be able to get in and out if needed.

Yeah here everyone talks about how bad Dora was.  Dora hit Jacksonville in 1964.
