The surge from a storm like this will destroy any ocean front hotel. They’d be retarded to stay there
Eh...most of the people along the MS Coast that survived Katrina were in the upper floors of hotels like the Courtyard in Gulfport.

Typhoon Cobra, Dec 18, 1944, first radar image of a tropical cyclone. It went on to wreck Halsey's Task Force 38, sinking 3 ships and damaging dozens of others. One of my uncles was on USS Essex. He saw a lot of combat, including kamikaze attacks, but declared that this was the most scared he'd ever been, with blue water breaking over the flight deck.

Maybe but not likely. Most of these are old hotels that survived a direct hit from Dora (cat 3/4). And obviously many other lesser hurricanes.

For those in central VA, do shopping now. The Kroger I went to is already out of water.
It was just announced the first evacuations here in Virginia- parts of Hampton Roads & Eastern Shore starting at 8AM tomorrow. The VDEM map is loading slowly but will show you where the evacuation zones are located.

I guess I should elaborate, the building may withstand it but 15-20ft of water and heavy winds means they likely have blown out windows and no power or generators

I can start the thread and keep updating the OP as rds and duke post the models and info?
I'd help for sure, but best to not trust me as the OP.
In terms of organization, you want offical NHC track.
WPC rainfall predictions.
Links to NWS offices and twitters near the path.
Next post:
State government info on evacs and such, broken down by state. Local news sources would be helpful here too.
Edit in emergency info an phone numbers post landfall.
Keep the models here. Too many questions and the GFS recently would be panic inducing.
See if rummy would be hardcore on what's posted. It'd be good for locals to share news and post questions but keep the typical OTness here.

My grandfather rode that fricker out in a LCI(R). Thanks for the pic.

What good does a generator do if the electricity is out? You still have to plug the generator. In somewhere.

Nope nope nope

GFS had it stalled off North Carolina now it's moving south west. 
Posted on 9/10/18 at 5:16 pm to rds dc
So it teases the outer bank and then decides to land further south
Posted on 9/10/18 at 5:16 pm to rds dc
GFS is drunk.
Posted on 9/10/18 at 5:17 pm to rds dc
Happy hour GFS delivers as always. 
Posted on 9/10/18 at 5:17 pm to rds dc
Go home Florence, you're drunk!
Posted on 9/10/18 at 5:18 pm to rds dc
Need to rename to a male identifier. That storm is lost and refusing to ask directions.

GFS has been drunk for 24 hours with this loop along the coast.
At least it's consistently crazy.
