While the tracks
Have seemed to shift a little North between Wilmington and Morehead City the big issue for those in coastal NC is the forecast stall that will have Florence sitting fairly stationary for awhile Before moving westward. In the Northwest Piedmont of NC where I live it has changed over the past few days from a wind/rain event to mainly a rain event. Even rain has gone from a forecast 13 a 15” to the current 4-6” as the bulk passes to the south before turning North into the Mid Atlantic states. This is all subject to change of course as Florence gets closer. Thoughts and prayers to those in and East of Raleigh as the storm approaches.

You must live near where my brother and family live now,which is about 20 miles above Asheville, the nearest town being Mars Hill.

Prayers for those on the coasts- after growing up near Galveston, Texas- like Marsha, we have lost houses to these beasts from the East (Carla was the worst). Thanks all!
I hope your home is not damaged Darin! Best wishes for safety to you and everyone affected by this frightening storm.

The facebook link below is a page set up for people to both find a place to shelter their pets, or to volunteer shelter to other pet owners.

Humane Society Southern Regional Director Laura Bevan gives pet owners advice on how to keep pets safe during a natural disaster.

A CSRA animal rescue group is creating an online network to find temporary homes for evacuated pets ahead of Hurricane Florence.

Good Luck to everyone in it's path and have patience dealing with getting out or stockpiling supplies if you're staying for the ride. I personally love the adrenaline rush and getting prepared to keep life as normal as possible after the storm. Stock up on gas, propane, chainsaw blades and a generator is a must own, go buy a small window A/C to use at night in one room so you get rest. Cleanup is gonna be up to you and you might need to use the chainsaw to clear streets for supplies and help your neighbors.

This is looking like it's setting up like Hurricane Floyd that moved slow and dumped massive rain but it's gonna have stronger winds. The best you can hope for is it drops wind speed as soon as it hits(before would be great) and turns into a rain event that moves out faster than expected.

I saw ads on Facebook from "The Cajun Navy" asking for volunteers and our two local electric companies have already committed to supply trucks and personnel. That means help is already planned and recovery will begin as soon as possible.

Good Luck, stay safe and don't worry about material things!

Hope every one is prepared or out of the storm's path. It looks like it will be very bad, so hope all will come through safely.
