Its wet here on the NC coast!!! But this storm is wimp compared to some we have had in the past. The main problem will be flooding in low areas.

I liked this quote from the Washington Post:

Quote:

People who "don't like rain" won't want to spend much time outside over the holiday weekend, said Calvin Meadows, a meteorological technician

Stay safe, everyone.

Not much rain in my area, but I've got some serious "hurricane hair."

I'm on my way to VA Beach tomorrow for the weekend.
Never been to the East coast and am nervous!!
My aunt and I weren't thinking hurricanes when we booked in June.

Yep, expecting 8 - 10 inches of rain - I'm in MD. Man, if that much was snow...Planning on just staying in, getting a pizza, reading - will probably go crazy from boredom - always do at home - but at least won't be out in the bad weather
