Well, I sure didn't hear anything like that but I haven't seen every channel (BBC not being one I get).Â* I hope your family is safe. Jill Thanks, Jill, I hope so too.Â* The BBC had a reporter in Wilmington and he also said that the residents have been told to write their names on their arms. That made it even more horrifying to me. Like they were expecting multiple deaths. It seems to be the rain that they're worried about, more so than the wind and storm surge, because the hurricane is so slow-moving they said there could be up to 60 inches.Â* 5 feet of rain!Â* That would be impossible to deal with - it would be like a tsunami.Â* Purrs for everyone in its path.Â* I saw the news yesterday, I think they said 23 dead up to now :'( Mother Nature can be very cruel. Actually, the number I heard this morning was 14, but even one is too many. |

I know what you mean, but a couple of days I heard that there were people who thought they could ride it out, so they were ignoring the evacuation orders. |

Lota of good wishes that it veers away from you Thanks! There was an evacuation order for my County (Beaufort) but the Governor cancelled it. The path of the storm is tracking far to the north of where Buffy and I are located. Let's have some purrs for the folks along the North Carolina and Virginia coasts. That's where the brunt of Hurricane Florence is headed. Jill The hurricane has veered south, now looks like it is headed for Georgia. Stay safe, everyone! Hurricanes always seem to turn a bit. All the current models have the eye of the storm making landfall much farther to the north of us. (I'm at the very southern tip of South Carolina.) We'll get rain and wind, sure, because it's a very big storm system, but not the brunt of the storm. What I find interesting is the hurricane (which hasn't even hit yet) is making the news in England! Jill Purrs for you (and everyone else) to stay safe, even though it might not hit you too bad. Judith I've heard them talk about five *feet* of rain! It's hard for this Southern Californian to grasp. Here, five *inches* would virtually bring the area to a standstill. Continued purrs and purrayers for all effected, including those who have loved ones in the affected area. Joy |
