They've just bumped the max winds up to 155 mph, making it into the Category 5 range (catastrophic damage), just before landfall. It is also predicted to drop back down again slightly just before landfall, but still... it's just about as big as an Atlantic peak-season hurricane gets.
Scott, it looks like it's headed straight to your family in NC and your rental property. I'd recommend your family make plans to evacuate in the very near future. As a survivor of Hurricane Ivan in 2004, I lost my home and nearly everything I owned. This one is even bigger. |

My wife just contacted her niece to see if she wanted to evacuate to our place. Niece, husband and daughter just built a house on a waterfront in Charleston SC. Niece says they are staying put. They think it’s going to hit far enough north they are going to be OK.

My daughter lives in Durham NC. I am very worried for her. We have been talking about how to handle this, but I can't be there for her, and that bothers me

My coworker's daughter lives in Wilmington. They're headed there now to get them out. They have a baby and several pets that need to be gotten out of harms way.

I think that far inland she should be OK so long as she is nowhere near a flood zone. Tell her to have enough food and water for at least two weeks, Get 3-4 20# propane tanks to use to cook with and make sure her home is secure.

Projected maximum sustained winds for her area are 28MPH. I think it's going to be the rainfall amounts that are the biggest concern there.

She lives in an apartment complex that is on a bit of a hill, so she should be ok for flooding, but she could be stuck there with the possibility of losing power. No way to cook with propane, but she has been stocking up on supplies per mom and dads orders! I'll be biting my nails

She is now telling me there is no evac orders yet, and she may be staying at here friends place to ride it out. I told her I wasn't happy about her choice because she could get stuck there and all her stuff will be in her apartment. She hadn't thought of that! No balcony at her place either

When Irene hit us a few years ago, we were able to retreat to our 5th wheel RV. These are the days I wish I had it back.
At my house I have my generator, gas grill, and portable air conditioner. |
