FYI folks.


"The latest forecast shows Florence nearing the U.S. East Coast as a Category 4 hurricane with 140 mph winds on Thursday"

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ne/1237754002/





"A ridge of high pressure moving in from the central U.S. is expected to move toward the Northeast by midweek. This ridge of high pressure will cause a blocking pattern and steer Florence dangerously close to, or into, the East Coast of the U.S. by midweek. The forecast track shows Florence’s forecast path approaching the southeast U.S. coastline late next week."

It may hit close to me.

But I grew up in the New Orleans area. One thing is for sure: I do not need to go to the store for stuff at the last minute. I have enough food for well over 6 months; 2 months for my cats. And water for at least a month.

I would expect a bad hurricane hit here would leave us without power no longer than 3 days.
