Hurricane Florence
09-10-2018, 02:59 PM
If you live anywhere near the path of the storm, now is the time to be finishing preparations. The damn thing jumped from a Category 2 this morning to a Category 4, and some models have it doing a Harvey and stalling off the coast so the state or states (depending on where it makes landfall) could be seeing up to 4 days of rain.
This is an analysis by Dr. Jeff Masters of the multiple threats posed by the storm.

"This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic, have fallen with a dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple... that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always."

Yikes! I'm well north of where it's expected immediately (right under one of the possible tracks though, but who knows where it'll actually end up?) but it still looks like a good time to make sure the cell phone and Kindle are all charged up, put batteries in the flashlights, tie down things that might blow around in the yard...

Looks like we'll get soaked here in NJ at the very least...

Remembers the conversation from the "There's Nothing Better" thread about prepping.
And Florence has already been up to a four, back down to a TS, and is now back up to a four, possibly pushing a five at landfall.
Wolf wins every fight but the one where he dies, fangs locked around the throat of his opponent.
