Looking at Charleston on Google traffic makes my head hurt.
Instead of sitting in it I decided to stop for Happy Hour.

I'm on top of it haha. We've been mapping potential flooding for days.
Flooding won't be even as bad as what we had last October. That was 28" of rain in 2 days during a King Tide.
There are so many damn Yankees here now that have never been through a hurricane and so much new construction though. Wind damage could be massive here.
Most of the houses in Charleston have been through repeated bombardments from the Union Navy, a 7.2 earthquake in 1886, and Hurricane Hugo among other things. Hopefully they have 1 last storm in them.

maybe florida is being proactive

Florida residents in Fort Lauderdale already taking precautions in case their house gets flooded.

Georgia State game could be bumped up to noon from 3:30 and have Georgia/South Carolina play at regularly scheduled time
Just out of curiosity why would they play at the dome instead of Sanford? Avoid rain?

The only saving grace I can see is that the hurricane wind field, if it holds, is only about 45 mile radius from the center. For Katrina, a day before landfall, it was 85 miles and by the time of Monday early, it was 105 miles. Just caused the water to pile up.
Also if it sits just offshore, while there may be some significant coastal flooding, the worst part will remain offshore.
Slight deviations though could mean disaster or something not too bad.

Yeah, thankfully this is a small storm sizewise

This is a pretty slow moving storm which is going to build that storm surge up. If you live within 5 miles of the Coast I would evacuate.
Hurricane Matthew has been a Cat. 4-5 in the Caribbean longer than all other Atlantic hurricanes from 2008-2016 combined.

He said they cut power off at 70 MPW winds. I am also waiting on a GTMO report.

How do you secure a Crane during a category 4 hurricane? This is in West Palm Beach

You get far, far away from it

You may want to follow them out. This thing looks like no joke.
I've got hotel reservations in Tifton, GA. We'll be headed out tomorrow or Thursday depending on the updated progress.

The southern end of the island wont be as bad as the northern end as the ebb tidal delta will shift most of its sand to the southern end. From say 7th ave to Wild Dunes you're looking at about 3 ft. Nothing too crazy.
Now if the house is "ON" the beach, thats a different story... We'll see massive beach erosion (unfortunate because we're currently evaluating sand banks offshore for renourishment in Myrtle Beach, the entire coast line will need massive amounts of sand after this).
Storm surge isn't going to be too bad for us thankfully.
