Coastal Georgia, Eastern SC and Eastern NC - get ready- this is aiming to be a very slow moving soaker- characteristics of Matthew or Florence a few years back.  Possible catastrophic flooding

Ventusky - Wind, Rain and Temperature Maps

from NOAA 5AM advisory

Across portions of southeast Georgia, the coastal plain of South
Carolina, and southeast North Carolina, 10 to 20 inches of rainfall,
with local amounts to 30 inches, are expected through Saturday
morning.  This potentially historic rainfall will likely result in
areas of catastrophic flooding.

lol i need to get my grass mowed.

no rain yesterday but i fell asleep in my recliner and missed the small window of cool before dark.

every other day last week when i'd get home from work and try to rush out there and mow it would start storming. 

i heard there was going to be about 6" of rain dumping in winston area with the hurricane coming.

I guess here in SE NC we might get to see how wise it was for the various county " planning" boards and county commissioners to let out of state developers come in and clear cut/bulldoze thousands of acres of wetland and put up thousands of housing units while allowing for storm water retention for 25 year storms ( which wouldn't even handle an above normal year of precip).  Friggin idiots.

Prepare for them to claim it's another 100 year flood. We've only had two of those the last couple decades or so.

 I have seen 4 big flood storms in the last 30 years in Eastern NC that I can think of off hand - Fran, Floyd, Mathew and Florence-  the climatologists have said this sort of lingering storm is going to become more and more frequent with AGW- and guess what?  It makes absolutely no sense to me to keep tempting fate with development where development should not be allowed.   I guess there is too much money to be fleeced off unsuspecting newcomers to do any different.

brace yourselves on the eastern part of the state. looks like it could be bad out y'alls way.

Right now, the projected track has it moving up the middle of the state, although the heaviest rain might be on the eastern side.  I know in the Triad the weather guessers are calling for about a 95% chance of rain on Friday.

I have a friend from New Zealand who is on a 90 day visa, driving all over the eastern United States. He was here for a few days, trapped with some medical issues as well as the crazy rain when he wanted to get to the hickory air Museum. Bit later now, he drove to Charleston just as the weather was starting to get bad and then decided for some reason to head up the coast to Wilmington. I think his brain is still on the other side of the planet or something.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
