My in-laws live in Davenport which is west of Orlando. Not gonna be a fun but the real killer in hurricanes is usually the storm surge and obviously none of that inland. They have a generator large enough to power the whole house if need be.

Yeah, luckily no storm surge to deal with. Hoping that the storm moves through quickly so that we don’t have to deal with any flooding. From what I’m hearing on the news, the big concern is the tornadoes because they form so quickly out of the hurricane that it’s almost impossible to send an alert out to people.

The forecast intensity is raised to 135 kt at landfall, and we are 
now forecasting a catastrophic storm surge of 12 to 16 ft from 
Englewood to Bonita Beach, Florida.  No other significant changes 
were made to the forecast.

The above from an intermediary NHC update at 7 am.  They are expecting a surge of 12-16 feet- those folks got to get out now while they still can.

Yeah as many hurricanes as I have been through I was always more frightened of the tornadoes.  When I lived up in ILM I had one go through my back wood lot during Fran.

Not sure if you saw the damage at the Miami airport last night but one flipped over 15 small Cessna like airplanes and it happened so quick that they were still seeking verification after all the damage occurred.

Trying not to think about the worst case scenario but I’ll be sleeping a little lighter tonight for sure.

“Governor Roy Cooper declared a State of Emergency today to activate the state’s emergency operations plan, waive transportation rules to help the transport of fuel and critical supplies, help first responders and the agriculture industry and protect consumers from price gouging,” wrote Cooper’s office in the announcement.

The State Emergency Response Team will activate in Raleigh on Thursday, and they plan to begin 24-hour operations on Friday Morning.

If Duke is your power company, don't hold your breath!

My place was without power for 10 days after Fran and I was on a well so no water either except when I ran a portable generator.  It was a Florida Power and Light crew who finally restored electric to my place.  The whole neighborhood was cheering those guys on and bringing them cold drinks.

Joking aside, hopefully things don't get too bad for you guys.

So far so good lol. A little standing water on the road, some lightning, thunder, and good winds but other than that no issues.

      Dane Brugler Carolina Panthers projection rd 2 and 3

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Giving just a bit of the rds for copywriter reasons  I honestly cannot see this happening tonight for the Panthers   I see either a CB and linebacker or CB AND CENTER  im sharing as many on here follow Dane    33. Buffalo Bills (from CAR): Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 34. New England Patriots: Ladd McConkey, WR, Georgia 35. Arizona Cardinals: Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa Between DeJean’s versatility and the Cardinals’ needs in the secondary, this is a team-player pairing that made a ton of sense in the first round — and makes even more sense in Round 2. 36. Washington Commanders: Patrick Paul, OT, Houston 37. Los Angeles Chargers: Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 38. Tennessee Titans: Johnny Newton, DT, Illinois   39. Carolina Panthers (from NYG): Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama   40. Washington Commanders (from CHI): Marshawn Kneeland, Edge, Western Michigan 41. Green Bay Packers (from NYJ): Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&M   51. Pittsburgh Steelers: Jackson Powers-Johnson, G/C, Oregon 55. Miami Dolphins: Zach Frazier, G/C, West Virginia 65. Carolina Panthers: DJ James, CB, Auburn

      Panthers Select Xavier Legette with Pick 32

      well, then we will continue to be a poorly run and dysfunctional org IMO.  I think it's poorly run org.....that you would tie someone's hands and careers to the mistakes and decisions of people you fired before them.  You hired them to come in and create something that works.  That generally would means, throwing in the garbage many things the last group did.   I mean, Bryce simply put could be a good college quarterback that the folks that just got fired incorrectly picked.   Everyone good in college isn't going to be a good NFL player.  And it's also why decent college players often can become great NFL players.  HCs don't determine all that.  Sometimes they do.  Sure.  But again, Bryce in his own words after a dismal rookie season...said he spent the offseason away from football.  Alone and binging you tube and netflix.    That doesn't sound anything like the QBs that have turned into great NFL QBs.    I hope for the best.  But if Bryce repeats last season?  They 100% should move on.  You want to force us into a year 3 just because or fire Canales because Bryce isn't a NFL QB?
