Yes she is. They have also closed all schools east of Columbia.
Say a prayer or 2 for the first responders and linemen.Good times, Good friends, Great Beer. You can buy all three - But it's always better to invest the time to make your own.

The GFS Model has Florence stalling just off Moorehead City for 4 days. I sure hope that is wrong. Other models slow Flo, but keep her moving inland. This could be quite a disaster for those people.
Model GuidancePeople are shocked to see sharks in the water around here.
If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.

It's a mess for buying and selling lumber out of that region. It is already wet and now maybe another 24" of water!!

WOW!
the forecast continues to evolve with the storm center now predicted to stall just offshore and drift SW with a decay in intensity (thank God ;-)
Check out the size of the tropical storm wind area... bigger than the state of South Carolina!

My daughter and her family live in Hilton Head. At first they thought they were going to be forced to evacuate. Then the storm looked like it was headed more toward the NC coast, so they didn't think they would have to. Now, it looks like it's headed back in the direction of the SC coast, so we are waiting to here if they are evacuating or not.
