Woohoo haven't had a hurrican with my name in awhile, and I'm not living in the south anymore either.

 

[StrikerObi]

Is that in northern or southern North Carolina? My sister lives in Willmington, which is in the way south (close to South Carolina) near the coast.

 

[Ferrio]

I loved tropical storms and weak hurricanes.

That's my hometown!

Yeah we've been hit quite a few times, hurricane parties can be fun. You should see the keg store right before one hits, they're overloaded.

 

[Matlock]

Spoiler

Seriously, though, hope nothing too bad comes of this.

 

[belgurdo]

AFK: Tornado

 

[Desperado]

Eh? I need to watch the news more often.

Should hit the whole coast, from northern SC all the way up towards Hatteras.

This thing has been just chilling off the coast for two days, might get pretty hairy when it finally hits. It was supposed the come last night (as of two days ago) and it just sat in the ocean gathering strength.

Being the sadist that I am, I'm pulling for a turn inland so we can get some Tropical Storm loving here

 

[BigJonsson]

Where in the Carolina's is Myrtle Beach?

 

[DJ_Tet]

That's in South Carolina, it's currently off of the Myrtle Beach coast. That area should be fairly safe from any real pummeling.

 

[Doth Togo]

As long as my Hilton Head Island doesn't get hit, then things are "ok." Though, I hate to see the OB get hit.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

I dare it to hit Charlotte. I'll personally be waiting to beat its ass.

 

[Fjord]

Those bastards deserve it.

 

[DJ_Tet]

Those bastards deserve it.

?

 

[Hitokage]

Hah, thanks to the deal Charlotte made with the Gods after Hugo, those jerks on the coast get every hurricane that would have been headed our way.

 

[DJ_Tet]

Hugo was fun wasn't it?

Out of power from Thursday to Thursday for our neighborhood.

The height of Nintendo, rendered powerless. I'll never forget when the power came back. Not twenty minutes earlier us kids had decided to play a game "Throw rocks at each other." We were slowly but surely regressing into 'Lord of the Flies' in my neighborhood. I think the fact that our house was the only one with gas water had something to do with it. The smell....the smell....[/end Brando]

 

[Hitokage]

I moved here after Hugo, actually...

...but I do remember the time when Charlotte was in the path of another hurricane with it expected to hit the next day. They closed schools in anticipation, but the next day ended up having some of the nicest weather I've seen here. The irony wasn't lost on most people.

 

[Doth Togo]

Having lived close to 18 years in Charlotte (elementary school, parts of middle school and parts of high school), I can say that Charlotte has a nasty tendency to overreact to anything.

Well they haven't shutup about it on the news today, so evidently you are correct.

 

[TekunoRobby]

WOO WE DODGED ANOTHER ONE, ROUND TWO COMING SOON FLORIDA.

 

[swoon]

god hugo was a nightmare.

anyway it's pretty cloudy here now. but i'm just happy that this guy is keeping the heat down.
