well... I'm located in the Hampton roads area of VA, and my college just closed for the week. Looks like everyone is evacuating... Does anyone know how bad its gonna be? Any people with experience? I'm gonna be staying, most likely.... too good a thing to miss :)

Gonna suck if we lose power here, in Raleigh. Good luck weathering out the storm! I would reccomend candles and flashlights, and some food that needs little preperation. Oh, and empty out your fridge just in case ;)

You're right by the ocean, right? If there were 20 feet of water in the street, would that cause you any problems? Would it flood your car? Or possibly no electricity for a couple days and no restaurants open?

Me too. I live in Virginia Beach and I plan on some water getting into my house. I was going to evacuate my family but the storm has weakened enough such that I don't think it warrants fleeing. I work in Newport News at a physics lab, we are shutting it down tomorrow at 3PM so I'll be able to stay at the house with the wife and kids and watch nature for a while. :) Good luck dude.

Sorry to tell you this, but the 3 little pigs story is wrong.
