PsychTiger thanks for the heads up. I’m in Johns Island and planning on riding it out. Sending the wife and kids to Helen for a few days and I’m staying with the dogs. You live in James Island?

I'm also on Johns, but thinking more each hour about leaving. If the 5:00 and 8:00 updates show a continuing southern trend, I'm likely a gone pecan in the morning.

As for the gas cans I mentioned yesterday, I'm sure those are long gone by now, though they could be getting more in.

Both of you should leave based on your location, IMO.

We're not in downtown Charleston, which floods easily. Johns Island has a lot more elevation, 40 something feet over sea level, and our local geography expert, The Gas Man, said we are relatively okay from a river rising standpoint. I was fine with potential impacts as long as I stayed on the extreme southern edge of the storm, but with it possibly stalling and moving down the coast I am planning on packing up tonight and at least being ready to leave come morning. We aren't forecasted to have tropical force winds until Thursday afternoon.

eta: But hurricane party tonight. Any other Johns Island baws should come to Krazy Owls during happy hour and tie one on.

I just moved out here 2 months ago from West ashley. We live on St. John’s Lake. I may pop in for a bit later to say hey!

If anyone wants to see an nearby cam during the storm see below:





Things will most likely get interesting tomorrow.

Can anyone add to what I’ve just listed?

I know it sounds obvious, but cash. Cash works when electric is down and computers are fubar.

There's also bad guys that are going to come out. Firearms are better to have and not need...


Ice chest full of drinks/ sammich stuff in case you need when none is available.

ETA: extra gas cans.

Something I saw on FB that deserves to be here

#HurricaneFlorence ?????

This is how I've seen the Hurricane Florence drama play out on facebook.

Florence: I'm coming for you.
VA & SC: Please don't
NC: Bring it

Florence: The frick did you say to me?
VA & SC: NC, dude shut the frick up!
NC: frick that and frick her windy arse. Punk arse bitch is only a CAT 3.

Florence: *powers up to CAT 4* still wanna talk shite!?
VA & SC: ... nope, we're good
NC: Not only am I going to CONTINUE to talk shite, we got Jim Cantore on his way and we are meme'ing the frick out of you.

Florence: you have got to be kidding. Ok fine, I got something for you. *begins powering up to CAT 5*
VA & SC: ......
NC: that's cool, we already have facebook events planned such as welcoming parties, blowing all the fans at you, firing guns at you... we've cleared out ABC stores and are ready to get LIT. Bring it on turbo.

Florence: you... you guys are serious? You really aren't scared of me? But... but I.... I put so much effort into this.
VA & SC: *waiting anxiously*
NC: *chugs beer* get fricked

Florence: fine, I'll leave *shifts south*
VA: *sigh of relief*
SC: God damn it NC you are the worst big brother ever!
NC: time to man up bitch, that damn hurricane is mad.

You’ll need propane or charcoal for the grill... to start cooking all your meat from the freezer when power goes out. We ate like kings for a week after Gustav with no power

Are there any known storm hunters planning on live streaming ?
