Rum would be great - but just to be safe, bring water too :P | | | Re: Watch out for Irene

I thought Hugo was '89? edit; yes it was. Here's a great link to a storm tracking site with all the historical tracks: Storm Tracker

Posts: 12,310 South Carolina | No kidding Dave! I'm hoping that forecast will continue to see it bend more and more right and hopefully eventually safely into the Atlantic with no land fall.
BTW - that image I linked appears to be updating automatically with the latest forecast image.

Posts: 3,224 Roanoke Island ,N.C. | Gosh that map does not look good for me. I am at the lower point in NC on the bad side of the storm. Still five days away so a lot can change. Will be good wind at Hatteras Regatta this weekend. Apparently they've ordered a mandatory evac for Ocracoke Island starting wed. morning, by Sat. , I doubt you'll be able to get to Hatteras unless you live there. It doesn't look to peachy for us David,stay safe. I guess I need to go tune up the Genset and the chainsaw. Damn ethanol.
