Up to Category 4 this afternoon. Current predicted track is straight
up I-40 from Wilmington. AFAIK, the only Cat 4 storm to hit NC was
Hazel in 1954.
Florence is more or less on the same predicted track as Fran back in
1996 (and Hazel in 1954 although there was no I-40 back then).
Hugo was Cat 4 when it made landfall at Charleston, SC. I've seen some
reports Florence may reach Cat 5 before it hits. We've never had a Cat
5 here AFAIK. Hurricane Floyd was Cat 2 when it hit (September 16),
but it stalled and dropped 19 inches of rain on top of the 15 inches
of rain from Dennis (September 4)
I have my generator gassed up, so I should be able to keep my
refrigerator going. I've got 5 gallons of water and my chain-saw is
gassed up. I've got my camp stove with 3 bottles of gas so I think
I'll be able to feed myself.
If the power goes out I won't have internet, so if you don't hear from
me for a while you'll know why.
It ain't lookin' good. I hope I don't lose my roof again.
John - hope you are not hit as hard as they are predicting -- we are
supposed to suffer a bit from Florence as well - but it isn't clear...
one question - only 5 gallons of water???
