Asheville will be flooded?

Really?

Well, I reckon I will work at home today. And this weekend will be an indoor weekend.

The National Hurricane Center forecast track has this going nowhere near NC. We are truly a nation of frightened wimps.

My Buddy rented a house on the Outer Banks for two weeks to windsurf and relax.
Been there about a week now, lot’s of rain so far.
Looks like he picked the wrong two weeks....

It's drizzling rain now down here on the corner in Southport, NC. Has been since yesterday with occasional slightly heavier rains. We've had a pretty dry summer so rain is a good thing.
Seems we either get it regularly in the form of the "thunderstorm du jour" or all at once in August/September with a hurricane-r-two. d:^)

Great update last night:

Tom Terry with WFTV out of Orlando said at 11:00 that the hurricane is taking a more easterly track and moving further away from the eastern coastline and that the EGRR model is more right taking this out to sea! He said the US model (GFS) has been horrible predicting the path. There is a big low front coming down into Florida which “saves our bacon” and although this low brings rain to the east coast, the hurricane is moving further away from the coast line and the most anyone along the eastern coast anywhere will get is rough waves.

Saw a convoy of bucket trucks and pole trailers heading up 77, probably Charlotte bound.

Don’t take this lightly. I am from Rocky Mount and this is similar to hurricane Floyd. We had lots of rain prior, from T.S. Dennis, then Floyd hit with more rain than forecast. My family and thousands of others lost everything. If you love near a flowing water, beware.

Hurricane Joaquin, what kind of name is that? I'm with Oprah, we should start using black names like Hurricane LaQuisha, Hurricane DeShawn, Hurricane Lurisha. When the hurricane runs it moves the top of its head like it's saying "Oh no you deh-ent, oh no you deh-ent, git outta my way or I'm gonna whup yo ass"

I guess I’ll tear the wrapper off my Lonesome Dove DVD pack that I picked up at the Walmart a while back.
I said I was saving it for a rainy day. ha.

Or put the cover on my pontoon and do some catfishing.

Me thinks both.

According to this, SC is where the big problems will be.
