My parents live near Charleston and are not evacuating. I have not been following the news or projected path at all, but they said that all the places they wanted to evacuate to might have been affected by the storm just as much as CHS - Atlanta, Savannah, Jacksonville. 🤷♀️

Ooh! This sounds awesome! That may be what my horse-loving kid and I need to convince the plane lovers to come with us! My plane nerds (DH and DS) thought it was great! 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. I live in western VA (200 miles away) and we can sometimes see rocket launches from Wallops Island from a big hill in our town. It’s so cool!

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. I’m hoping I have everything we need. I got a cheap audio monitor that can run on batteries for the LO in case the power goes out at Target today. Me too. They said where we are is the worst in the CLT metro area for flooding. Like, our county texted us last night about how to call for a flood rescue.

I think my aunt and cousin’s family are in your area. They are really worried about the flooding. ☹️

He’s never called us for a disaster before. That plus the alert from the county freaked me right out. BUT we are not close to the river, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I did put our medicine and important docs in plastic and brought DDs puddle jumper in.

Same feels on NB. 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. Definitely agreed on the bros. I feel like Wicked Weed gets a lot of them too. And oh no, I didn't see that it moved again. I can't keep up. I’ve done a personal boycott of WW. They basically gave the finger to all the breweries here when they sold to AB. Thinking of you rvasc . Our town declared a state of emergency yesterday and is currently trying to decide who to evacuate. Our house won’t flood but our exits are all over water.

The Zone A evacuation order in our area has been lifted. It's small in the scheme of things, but this means H's office likely won't flood.

"Turn around! Don't drown!" has been said approximately one million times this week on the news and yet.... I was on the phone when this was on so I have no idea if kids were on it. I hope not.
