having experienced several storms in south florida,  a safe place that is used by some is finding a cement parking garage like in a mall or airport
in south florida these usually public parking areas are several stories high and made of concrete, thus no worries about the winds, flooding or storm surge
also dont assume that your area is not going to be affected because the experts predictions
these storms have a mind of their own
prepare now and be safe

Let’s meet at Alton Road and 5th at the TJ Max cement parking garage for a party.
They have a good soda machine if memory serves.....

Earlier this week the path was projected to go directly over all three family houses, 2 in NC and 1 in VA. Fortunately for us we only have one in the path now, at Emerald Isle NC. Its a very modest house but we've had it for almost 40 years. I don't know how long this web cam will stay up but its very close to the point of "predicted" landfall.

If the link doesn't work it's the web cam for Bogue Inlet Pier.

3562 is in a garage here in the Raleigh area that should remain dry, assuming the roof stays intact. One can never predict the damage that might come from falling trees and flying objects. I take comfort in having insurance and knowing there are good people in the SAAC community that I believe could fix most anything. Hope we don't have to go down that road.

To our South Carolina neighbors, I'm sorry its predicted to turn your way. Praying for your safety.

That water is starting to turn ugly
Thanks for the link, I have a friend who just moved to Leland and he has left the house, hope it survives intact.
Hope the storm just doesn't amount to much, but its not looking too good

Boy, that Webcam view is darn clear. I was expecting a grainy B&W video that was cutting in and out.

Web cam is now down. Lost power or internet. I think they cut power to the island on purpose when it starts to get bad.
