Been praying for all in the path of the storm, and for those in flood prone areas. I have family in SC. Thankfully they’re inland, but no guarantees..The ground is already saturated.
Wifey just spoke with her brother in Wrightsville Beach. No power and some trees down but all good for them right now. Her Dad lives up the road a bit and he’s ok too. So far so good.

shows some raging surf. Most cams not working.
I have no symathy for anyone who could evacuate and defiantly refused to.
I will reserve my sympathy for those too poor to evacuate or those physically unable to, for whateer reason. And for those evacuees who return to severe property damage and loss.
I have no sympathy for people who had sufficient warning, time, and money to book a hotel in Chatanooga or Louisville and wanted to ride out the storm instead, putting an unnecessary burden on rescuers. A pox on them. They should have evacuated,despite the inconvenience and uncertainty.
They will be fine. They will meet people on the way out of the area.
