We are at the border between north Carolina and Virginia. Last time a major hurricane landed (Isabel) we were out of power for two weeks.

Today I'm securing all my hives, cutting branches of tree too close to the house. Stocking up on water and food, etc..

This is one that some meteorologists are pointing to as an analogy.

This is no hurricane Maria....this one could actually affect us white people!

Where's the Coast Guard? Where's the National Guard? For God's sake, why isn't somebody doing something?

they don't know what areas will be impacted yet.

Check back once they have decent recon.

They usually update the discussions every 4 hours and sometimes add "interim" updates in between the full regular advisories.

which, assuming it didn't recurve around and go out to sea or didn't get sheared apart on its way to the coast, should be a bit stronger due to the bath water out in the Caribbean and western Atlantic. I.e., I would think it would be in the 990s or lower coming in. Even Isabel, which had a path not too dissimilar to this, came in at 990mb.



Of course I know WPC's forecasts are obviously speculative this far out.

they have it just sitting there stalled and not going further inland after they move that big high to the north out of the way to the east. But I know there will be many changes from now until at least 48 hours before the event hits.
