Very off topic, but Prayers for those in it's path as it seems sure to cause massive damage both along the Carolina coast and with inland flooding. It was expected to be a Cat. 3 and it now seems possible it will be a cat. 5 before it lands. It's also expected to dump massive amounts of rain inlandas well. I well remember the worst natural disaster in NC history came from a tropical storm that stalled and dumped rain like this is expected to.

    We were at Guntersville Lake near Huntsville AL. when Katrina moved over with 50mph winds, I played in my kayak on the lake, we had no idea of the damage till reports started coming in the next day.

    Normally we would have been in Athens this weekend for the Parents Council Weekend, but my wife has a seminar presentation at James Madison University on Friday. My alma mater Ohio University plays her alma mater UVA Saturday so we decided to attend that game and we swapped out a trip for Middle Tenn State to come down for Tennessee.

    Kind of bummed, because the last time Ohio played UVA was 1993, so I don't expect a return game anytime soon. At the 1993 game I sat in the end-zone on a blind date and my future wife was located on the 48 yard line with the season tickets she had for over 30 years. I think I made a good decision.

    Hurricane Isabel hit Richmond really hard in 2003. We were without power for ten days. Hopefully the storm will keep moving and not saturate a region that has been saturated all year from rain.

    Was your Dad in the area when Floyd came through in 1999 ?
    The flooding was the worst ever in that region. This one might be very similar.

    My family farm is right up the Cape Fear just outside of Wilmington. We've got the corn in but the soybeans probably won't make it. The folks up there have been through many blows so I know they're ready for it. Coincidently was talking to a neighboring farmer just this past Spring and we both agreed that the area was due for a big one.
