The local news is showing a fool windsurfing 🤬. I wonder he expects someone to save him should things go wrong quickly.

For anyone familiar with Hatteras Island in the outer banks, NCdot posted this pic this morning - already ocean overwash on Highway 12 before the town of Rodanthe. It’s not even high tide yet and the storm is still 200 miles out.

They don’t know where it’s going!” Yes, they do - what? The fact that the track changed feeds dumbassery like this and the ignorant "OMG those weathermen don't know what they're doing" thinking.

That area always takes a beating, Noreasters have washed out that portion of the road before. I have everything crossed it can withstand this storm.

They HATE people like this because yes, they do expect someone to save them, because of course they fire department and coast guard are going to go looking for him when he disappears. So fuck that guy.

Planss fly in there to determine wind speed and central pressure (956 mb, by the way 😉). Can you imagine being in that plane? Has anyone here been to Wallops Island? Their exhibits on those planes are really cool and you can see them take off. Plus other cool NASA stuff. hawkward, I'd recommend stopping there when you do Chincoteague!

I think their rocket launch pad has reopened since we were there last, so you might even be able to time things to see a launch.

MH’s whole family was supposed to be vactioning in Nag’s Head, leaving tomorrow. Needless to say they canceled and I’m really relieved that it wasn’t when they were already there. It makes my stomach hurt to watch though, I adore the OBX. I’m hoping for the best for everyone with friends, family, and property in the path of this thing.

Frying Pan Tower off the coast of NC has a live cam and, while it's night vision now, it's still pretty insane.

::buts in:: Our favorite breweries are Pisgah, Burial, Highland, Greenman and Catawba. The only not kid friendly one is Greenman. Barleys is a great pizza place downtown. The Corner Kitchen in Biltmore village is good for brunch. The Lab is fun but a little pricey for bar food. Curate is upscale and very popular. Chestnut is a long the same lines but very good. We have much food. Good recs! H and I are already talking about everything we're going to eat when we get down there 😂 @karenwalker, I also really like (mostly downtown because that's where we usually went): - Chai Pani (their kale pakora is really good) - Blue Dream Curry House - Jealous Monk (upstairs is your usual breweries, downstairs has pub vibe and Belgian beer) - Early Girl Eatery has a great breakfast/brunch - LAB is indeed pricey, but they have a pretzel the size of your head! - Chocolate Fetish and French Broad Chocolates — the former is just a shop; the latter you can order drinks, ice cream, etc. They have boozy stuff too. - I really enjoyed the New Belgium brewery, it doesn't necessarily have the charm of some of the others but the people were very nice and it's a fun place. Non-food: - Woolworth Walk has a bunch of local artists, and a neat diner-esque area (oops, still food) - Battery Park Book Exchange is pricey but has some cool books, and a nice bar/coffee shop (and is dog friendly so you get to see adorable dogs) - Starting on Haywood and just wandering around offers a lot of fun window shopping. The dude-bros that flock to NB irritate me. But the people that work there really are the best and I love the Voodoo Ranger and Juicy ipas Haywood is definitely a fun place to go!

I looove it, it’s great for my kid to run around, but it can attract the bro’s. I’ll also add 12 Bones. The blueberry chipotle ribs are the BEST ribs I’ve ever had in my life. Limones is really good and also Smoky Park. Also, I love Biscuit Head for breakfast! I like trying all the different jams. I’m hoping they open one in CLT! The storm looks like it’s going directly over Asheville. I’m a little worried. Our last weather update said 15 inches of rain where I am east of AVL. They are releasing dams everywhere to prep. FX for the best for the whole state. I’m anxious for my Wilmington friends to update me tomorrow

I’m anxious for my Wilmington friends to update me tomorrow Ugh. We’re in the extreme flood risk zone now. We are barely outside that. I hope you stay safe. I’m mostly worried about landslides. I drive I40 to Asheville up the mountain every day and there have been multiple slides or roads failing there this year. If there is a major slide we are in trouble.

Ugh. We’re in the extreme flood risk zone now. The forecast keeps changing. One minute it’s 4-6 inches, the next 8-10! I’m mostly nervous about trees falling. We back up to a wooded area and small pond. 😳 I’m prepping for real tomorrow morning. I have everything, just need to get it in one place. I wasn’t nervous until I saw the 8:22 pm update.
