My buddy lives near Charleston on Daniel Island SC.
They have issued evacuation orders for everyone within 100 miles of the coast.
Richard went to fill up, no gas to be bought on Daniel Island. He crossed the bridge into Charleston. The first station he came to was sold out.
He did fill up at the second station.
He and his wife hit the road a half hour ago. The interstate has been opened to N. Only traffic for hurricane evacuation.
He is going only 30 miles inland to a motel, I guess. He figures he will be safe there.

i'll bet the ocean will kick up some huge swells. if i was down on the coast, and i'm not, i'd be hunkering down.
storms are a natural, annual event.

Far too many hurricanes come across Florida from all directions to ever make me want to live there.
Be Safe. If you need to haul azz to SC let me know.
Dan thanks for your kind offer Dan. Looks like Matthew will be covering most of SC right after us.  I will be missing me and you would be welcomed here.

I hope doesn't hit Jersey. Apparently they starve to death if the grocery store is closed for 48 hours.

I am on the west coast of Florida.
We should be ok.
We are always prepared for storms.
Best wishes to those who may be in the path, this is a serious storm.

I've planned to drive to Pigeon Forge, TN from Texas this weekend. Any concern from Matthew that maybe I should not go?

I sincerely hope that after it passes directly over GITMO, they ruefully discover that all the prisoners drowned. They evacuated 2 days ago.

Sam, if the water gets deep enough to flood your condo, please let us know.
Stay safe!
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

Wow, I lucked out. I was in Cocoa Beach last week and was wondering if it was wise to plan a vacation there this time of year. Only 90mph winds and 8 inches of rain are predicted this week.

The SC governor announced the evacuation would begin Wednesday at 3pm and I-95 would be routed for one-way traffic north at that time.
I'm 30 miles inland from Charleston and I'm not planning on going anywhere. However, that depends on the storm. I lived through Hazel and I guess I'll make it through this one, God willing.
Anyway, there's no regular gas left at any of the stations in this area and the stores have run out of water. It's only a few hours after the announcement and three days until the storm hits.
When a column of troops under Lt. Col. Francis Smith moved into the countryside to collect arms and munitions gathered by the patriot militia, hostilities erupted at Lexington and Concord on Apr. 19, 1775.

Looks like my wife is harboring some West Palm Beach friends at the condo on Sanibel. She is prepared.

Good to be prepared, but it s likely to turn east quicker than predicted.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

It should be down to a 2 by landfall , being a Charleston resident and having been through I think its 4 storms in various places this one just pisses me off more than anything. We just got the food plots in when it dried out enough to plant.
Charleston is emptying out quickly and its awesome, like the days of old.
