Hurricane

[puffy]

When folks live in an area that is prone to natural disasters there is always mixed feelings when something occurs.Concern for those effected,and relief that we weren't.I live in North Carolina and hurricanes are pretty common here.I live far enough inland that the most I usually get is rain.It's been about 25 years since we got a direct hit where I live.I've been to the coast many times though.I know folks who live there.It looks as though they're about to get hit again.As I sit here safe and snug smoking my pipe my wishes for their safety and concern for their potential loss of property is on my mind.I wish them well.

, thanks for the kind words. We're all a little concerned here. Out headquarters is about two miles inland (we're in Little River, SC). I already told my wife that if she wants the photo albums it's her responsibility during an evacuation. I will be making decisions about pipes, tobacco from the cellar and my humidor.

I'm hoping it turns more out to sea and no direct landfall this time anyways. it's still plenty of time to do so.

luck to ya'll coastal dwellers.

Just a thought Ted, but perhaps you could acquire a couple of old ammunition cases from your local surplus store to store what you can't take with? They take a beating, are water-proof, come pretty cheap (around $10 for the 7.62mm case) and in a variety of sizes.

local news is saying looks like it may just hit hatteras and more likly farther north watch out DC and NYC

Good luck to all with the approaching storm, natural disasters seem to be on the rise this year. hopefully you will be spared.

Wishing you all safety . Hoping the storm passes by without making landfall.

My in laws are in Summerville, SC. My wife has been trying to get them to evacuate - but they are stubborn.

 

[tedswearingen]

schmitzbitz, that's a clever idea. I'll have to do this soon.

 

[maduroman]

docrx, i wish ANYBODY luck that lives in jersey....

It looks like it's going to keep veering slightly to the right, so right now it looks like South Carolina may be in the clear.
I'm glad Florida dodged the bullet. I did my hurricane shopping yesterday anyway.

 

[docrx]

Thats not particularly funny in this instance Maduroman.Was 9/11 funny too?

Got two houses in VA Beach. The last thing I need is a disaster

Ike cost me over 7 thousand out of pocket and we live 75 miles inland . The important thing to have is clean water and extra gas for your car . Yall be safe . Living on the Gulf Coast we get our fair share of fun . :puffpipe:
