midnight Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Which is good for us. Not so good for the folks north of us. All I am expecting for our area is a little rain, and probably a power outage, because our electric company sucks ass. But it's not expected to hit our area until late Thursday/early Friday.

We will pick up some bottled water this week, and take down plants and tie down anything that may need it. We got hit hard by Irma last year, and Matthew the year before that. Our local meteorologists aren't too worried right now. Of course, that is subject to change. We should be fine here though. We have never evacuated where I live. We are a little over an hour from the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to Google this phenomena, as it had slipped my mind. I have heard of this legend, as I read many books regarding the paranormal in the Coastal Empire and Low Country. Can't argue, it looks like something in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there and done that too. Spent all kinds of money on shit and nothing ever happened. I mean, I'm glad nothing happened, but I agree, it seems to be an attempt to get us in a panic and spend money. Plus all of this helps their ratings as well.

rpgamer Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I don't keep track of these ever since I moved off the east coast. But my experience was, unless you're within a pretty close range to the eye wall, it's nothing to get too worked up over. With some other extra factors to consider, like size of the wind field, surge, if you're actually on the coast, how fast it's moving, which could determine how much rain sits on you causing flooding, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuggstop Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) Kinda funny story...kinda not. I sat next to a bilingual rep in 2016 who voted for trump. I tried to say trump doesnt like people like us..her and me. She vehemently disagreed and started talking trash about Hillary. Skip ahead several months. Huge hurricane hits Puerto Rico where most of her family still lives. Shes distraught for days and crying at work. Then trumps response is to say "dur de hur hur..puerto rico is in debt". Well long story short..she aint likey trump no mo! Edited September 10, 2018 by fuggstop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midnight Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 We aren’t even looking to get much rain here. This hurricane is a category 4, but it’s much smaller in comparison to the last few we’ve had. Irma and Matthew were assholes for us. I’m not worried about this one, where we live. I hope my asshole aunt who lives in Charleston doesn’t decide she wants to evacuate and come here. I’m gonna lock my doors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk how familiar you are with your coastal bathymetry, but there's a neat little feature called the Charleston Bump, a shelf that kinda just juts out into the Gulf Stream right off of SC. It's what commonly assists with the seemingly serendipitous curves hurricanes make on approach to the area, with the sudden change of depth, the GS kicking out to open water, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
