I have some crews working in St. Pauls, North Carolina which is 80 miles northwest of Wilmington and in between Lumberton and Fayetteville on I-95. What do you guys predict the conditions to be there as I have never been but need to decide if we should move some equipment out, mostly trucks and heavy equipment.

Not only is there a mandatory evac of the entire coast, they shut the schools down from Cola to the coast starting tomorrow.
I'm gonna be the only dude in the office the rest of the week since I don't have kids.
and all state office non-essential employees as well in the same areas.
Columbia is going to be a ghost town the rest of the week.

They are about to pass for the fifth time. How much of a beating can these planes take?? 
Do not want to be those dudes.

There is a reasonable chance that area will see 100+ MPH wind gusts.
I don't know anything about your equipment and equipment, but I'd get my people out of there.

No traffic on my way in to be the only guy in the office!

It's incredible to see the entire coastline (a large one at that) of a state be evacuated.

What is a good website for spaghetti models?

Cat 3 I can deal with
Of importance: Katrina officially came ashore as a Cat 3, after peaking as a Cat 5 a day or so before offshore.
Florence would not be a typical Cat 3, my guess more along what Cat 3 Katrina was like.
In other words, don't mess around with this one

Fear mongering with hurricanes has become ridiculous.
I agree when it involves a TS or cat 1. Strong storms like this one are nothing to play with. Even if people stay and successfully ride it out, it could be days or weeks before any kind of aid can get to those stranded.

Ivan was a Cat. 3 at landfall as well. A Cat. 3 can still cause widespread and catastrophic damage.

Hopefully, Issac cuts up north into the Atlantic.

Too many people are uneducated on how hurricanes work.
“I’ve been through hurricanes for 50 years of my life and I lived through them all I’ll be fine”
Problem I find when people say this is they often got lucky. By that I mean if you ask them where they were in the storms they were located far inland or they never sat in the NE wall of a major hurricane. A small shift in the storm makes a huge difference. I promise you if you have you’ll never want to again in your life.
I sat near the NE eye wall in Katrina and that was the most horrifying experience I’ve ever seen. I saw 200ft. high trees touching to the ground, tornadoes spawning all around picking trees up throwing them, gusts so strong they could knock you on your arse. It looked like a nuclear bomb hit by the time it passed no hyperbole.
I’ll never do that again. Better safe than sorry especially if you’re on the coast. People really need to educate themselves on how devastating the storm surges are.

Lumberton flooded horribly when Matthew came through.
That area is also very close to the water and would bear a lot of the brunt of the storm if the current tracks hold.
I’d be getting them out of harms way soon.
