people down here are getting scared. the last news report said it was moving along the coast so it wont be as bad. but im still nervous since Wilson is only an hour from the coast. but i think all will be ok. im hoping so anyway.

God, that looks terrifying! I'm damned glad that I don't live in an area where we have to deal with any such forces of nature.

Hope all of you guys that might be affected come out the other side none the worse for the wear.

I will definitely be thinking about you and all of my North Carolina friends. Hopefully you won't have anything to worry about. The thing that always frightens me is what I went through when I lived in Alabama and Opal came through - tornados.
One hit the gas station 2 blocks from my apartment complex and it scared the crap out of me!

That is an amazing pic! hope you guys pull through ok.

These guys are nuts - they are going to ride out the hurricane to collect scientific data. Their site has a live webcam.

This is a weather data bouy stationed 250 miles east of Charleston - check out the wind speeds and wave height data. For the landlubbers: a knot is 1.2 miles per hour.
