    If he identifies as female it's all good, was just wondering.

    When I lived/worked in Miami, a co-worker/close friend said, "It will turn to the right. Except for Andrew." Good luck to all. Start stocking now. before it does a 180 back into the Atlantic.

    Hurricane Drunk by Florence and the Machine is a fantastic song.

    I'm starting to get a little anxious. It's looking like it could be a big one and it feels like we're overdue for a big'un.

    For years, I've had two 100-foot tall pine trees that were way too close to my house and I worried that the right storm would bring them down. I finally got them taken out last month.

    I probably just guaranteed that one of the not-so-close pines will come down on my roof next week.

    I’m hearing catastrophic flooding if this storm comes into central VA and eastern NC, hits the mountains, stalls and back pedals. Rain from Thursday to Tuesday and probably winds.

    I’m guessing trees falling and power outages, but floods are what really kill people. Like rushing water where we have not had rushing water before. It has been a very wet summer already and the ground cannot take much more water, so it runs on the top.

    It will also take days after it stops raining for this water to finally make its way to the ocean.
