Current track right up the eastern coastline.
Bummer, if that holds up I hope it doesn't get stronger.
-
Yeah, the east coast of Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas are going to get wet.

So far the area around the NC/SC border is in the middle of all the different projected paths. I used to live in Wilmington, NC, the port city above Cape Fear. We got pummeled several times there The whole coastline of NC is a hurricane magnet. Only Florida gets hit more often.

Ain't that the truth!
It's usually the Outer Banks and the coast that gets hit. Any storm strong enough to do damage inland, such as Fran in '96, runs differently.

I was in Wilmington for Bertha, Fran, Bonnie, Dennis, and Floyd. I think there's 1-2 near-misses I forgot. Fran did the most wind damage, but Floyd was definitely the worst in total damage. It was actually worse inland from all the streams bursting their banks than it was at the actual coast. I remember water still standing in some areas at Christmas time that year.

We weren't here for any of those, but after Fran, the roofs in Raleigh (Wake County) and by us were still wearing blue tarps more than a year after. The number of trees lost permanently changed whole landscapes.

It needs to run directly into Washington, DC so that O'Bama has something else to blame his problems on.

Yes, I'm sure it's still ultimately Bush's fault since he created the Global Warming Weather Machine that causes these hurricanes.
-
If it ripped everything straight up Pennsylvania Avenue would it a natural weather event, a sign, or a miracle?

Good Luck! ::hysterical::

I think it's time to change the title of this thread. North Carolina is right square in the crosshairs now.
-
If it's the coast, nothing new. NC is the second-most frequent destination in the crosshairs, after Florida. Batten down, pray and hope for the best.
Inland is a whole 'nother story.
-
Looks to be tracking the coast, y'all in the Carolina's could be in for a rough ride Saturday evening...
Better get to shopping if you haven't already!
And call the Gov to suspend those idiotic gun bans during disasters!
-
The forecast track continues to veer to the right. It's now looking like it may just graze the NC coast and hit the Delmarva peninsula or even New Jersey.

See also this post by Brendan Loy at PJM (http://pajamasmedia.com/weathernerd/2011/08/23/start-spreading-the-news/). I haven't seen anything from him in a few years. He made quite a name for himself back in 2005 when Katrina was approaching. He called for the evacuation of New Orleans before anybody else. He was just a nobody college kid, who happened to be a weather buff, writing on his own personal blog. I remember reading his blog posts in real time back then; I think Instapundit may have linked him.

Well, let's hope the models Brendan's relying on for that one possible scenario prove to be wrong.
-
Tying into the point made in the earthquake thread, only now is Irene considered some malevolent threat, simply because Noo Yawk might be affected.
-
Maybe that "malevolence" is headed for that mosque construction site down the street from the Twin Towers.
