Update: Tropical storms coming towards SE US

[Ime]

Tropical Update from the Weather Channel

If you live in southern GA, Northern FL, or the Eastern Carolinas, you should check it out and keep an eye on it.

Update: The current predicted paths show the Carolina's getting a ton of rain. If you live in a flood-prone area now would be a good time to take precautions.

Uhh..looks like it is pretty far from the carolinas..am I looking at the same storm?

I'm kind of excited - I've lived in Panama City for 5 years and have only experienced a whimpy tropical storm. When/if the damned storm finally makes it's NE turn, and if it does come near up, the Air Force will evacuate my family from the area.

The storm is rather small, though.

It can still work its way into the Carolinas Excelsior, except it will only be rain then.

Check out the predicted storm track.

The last thing the Carolinas need is more rain after last week...

Sometimes they get big fast though.

Not suggesting anyone panic. (I've ridden through my share of storms when I lived in the Tidewater area of VA) People should keep an eye on it though, you never know.

If it doesn't curve that hard, it will hit where I live.

Cool. I'll take pics if I get to see the eye.

What's not confusing about that? Carolina's are a good 400+ miles from the coast. NC is even further.

Nothing to worry about up here in Canada

One of the nice thing about Atlanta is that we're far enough from the coast(s) that hurricanes have usually lost a lot of steam by when/if they make it here.

I wish something exciting would happen around here for a change.

I meant to ask you if it was last week you went on the Charleston beach vacation. Get any rain?

We are getting ready here on teh Gulf Coast. No work tomorrow, but the kids still have school

Guess I will enjoy my unexpected day off!

Wow, Charley's already a hurricane and expected to strengthen?
Good luck to all of you down there.... hopefully you don't experience significant problems, and worst of all - - loss of internet connection
