Happy for the folks in the Carolinas that this thing is weakening. Difference in a Cat 4 and Cat 1/2 is between utter destruction and a one month inconvenience. (sans flooding)
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

A moment of silly; look at the forecast location for Saturday morning:



How would you like to be named Florence, living in Florence, SC, preparing to be hit by hurricane Florence?

Surely a reporter there is going to find at least a couple for interviews.

No problem here.

That flag is going to be completely shredded, if the pole isn't torn down first.

Geez. You're right. You should hop in your dingy and row out there to secure it.

The B&B on the platform has more than a few of the past shredded flags.

I think Baytown may have exceeded that total during Harvey.

For all the TBR folks in the path, please be safe!!!!!
BIL and SIL live in VA beach. Asked them if they wanted to come over by us, they said they would ride it out. Mind you a bunch of people for Norfolk 20 miles north were evacuated. You can always tell a liberal, you just can't tell them much.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

OK. As predicted all the news channels are doing the gratuitous idiot standing out in the rain and the wind yelling into the microphone that THERE REALLY IS RAIN AND WIND HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!!

How does the rain feel Jim?
Well Stan it feels wet.
And the wind, how does the wind feel Jim?
It feels windy Stan.

LOL! Why? Why is there some compulsion for the news to do this? How does this help anything?

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Sustained wind speed has dropped again from 110 to 100. If it drops another 5 it will go to a Category 1 storm. Also the speed is down from 17mph to 5mph.

Watching the evening news.  The torn flag was just shown. 

I'm reminded of the Star Spangled Banner.  "Our flag was still there."  Might be battered, but it perseveres.

That the wind speed is dropping is great news.
That it has slowed down to 5 mph in movement is terrible news.

That slow traveling speed will cause far more total damage than the 10 mph drop in wind saved.

Especially if the eyewall stays off land and doesn’t really weaken.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

I checked it out for all of us.
I did proudly hail at the twilight's last gleaming and it was gallantly streaming.
I'll check it out again at dawn's early light to see if that star-spangled banner yet wave.

It was there at dusk. I'll check it out again at sunrise.

Still can't believe the utter stupidity of people who think they have to stand out in the wind and rain in order to tell you that the wind is blowing and the rain is falling.  **nononono*
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
