Now the info at this link doesn’t seem to be nearly as serious for Virginia’s outlook. Who to believe?

I happened to hear Joe Bastardi on Hannity’s show a little while ago, and he was talking about the storm shifing to a more westerly path, which is bad news for SC and northern GA, but good news for VA. The latest model runs seem to show that.
I don't think it is a matter of whom to believe. Weather forecasting changes constantly. We had remnants of TS Gordon headed our way. Forecasts had 5 to 8 inches of rain in our area. We ended up with 4 inches. It rained the entire time though. There wasn't anything to do outside.
