The new NHC track...the NE quadrant will basically be over Richland/Camden/Florence Counties for a couple days right?
Yeah, but it will be significantly weakened by that point.

I do alot of post hurricane inspections (no not for insurance) and I would absolutely not trust putting items in a dishwasher thinking it will be waterproof. This hasn't been my experience at all. Do a quick search online if you want more research.
Yea, obviously you should put as much as you can as high as you can in your house or just take it with you when you get the hell out of dodge.....didn’t know that it was “false.” Interesting and makes some sense

The problem is with all that rain, a "weak" 85mph gust will take down trees easily, due to soil saturation, and put them on your house. Sure, you will be safe, but the clean-up will be a PITA.

She looks pretty healthy this morning. How are conditions looking today for any intensification?

Flood water will absolutely get inside a dishwasher. The only appliance that it did not get into was inside the washing machine drum. Everything else is fair game including fridges because high water will knock them over and they they will open as a result of the force. Only thing safe is if you have a second story (only talking about flooding and assuming that the hurricane does not rip off the roof or the second story)

Even if water gets say 8’ Deep and over the top of the drum?

I.e. Gustav in Baton Rouge.

Fridges float...

No it would probably get in through the top. I was just talking about 4 or 5 feet of water and a front loader. If it is not on a pedestal and it is higher than where you put the detergent in, it will also get in the washer. So you are correct.

140 kt winds found by HH at ~600 ft feet up. Not quite flight level, but not quite surface either.

Maybe wind wise but it's still going to dump major rain totals, Harvey was a Cat 1 and look what it did to Texas last year when it barely moved.

Yes they do and then when the water recedes they fall down and all the doors could potentially open. So I suppose technically the water does not get in initially but it is by no means safe to put anything in there and expect it to be ok.

Last day of good weather. Last day to make preparations for the coast.
I expect a bit more traffic coming out of Charleston after that track shift overnight.

Should people in Highlands leave or are they far enough inland?
I don't know where that is,but if you're not within 75ish miles of the coast from Wilmington to Savannah, your only real threat is rain. So, if you live on/near a river or creek, on/near the coast, or in an area that is prone to flooding in heavy rains, you should leave.
Otherwise, be prepared for 1-2 weeks without power.

Holy shite. I surely hope people aren’t stupid enough to try and ride this storm out.
But some are and prayers for them and their families

Charleston will be more of a swamp than it already is.
12 inches of rain plus 6ft storm surge? No thanks.
