HURRICANE MICHAEL ON CAROLINAS: Floodings on NC. Tornado watch has been issued for parts of North Carolina and Virginia until 9 PM EDT!!p265

so sorry. :(

I hope she evacuated. Hmm, i'm the same distance from the coast. I hope it doesn't get too bad.

The heaviest winds are supposed to be through tonight; it is still very noisy outside my window.

GLP, I copied the comments directly from the Louisiana Cajun Navy's FB page. I don't think that they were really trying to dis First Responders.

However the Cajun Navy are always the very 1st on the scene wading through chest deep water. First Responders must follow government regulations of when they can enter very dangerous areas re downed power lines.

Commenters were also advising that First Responders maybe over whelmed handling 9-11 calls, so Cajun Navy might be a more sensible alternative.

Louisiana Cajun Navy is always willing to rescue & transport pets. First Responders MAY have different rules.

Know that some are always reluctant to leave pets behind, as not all shelters take non-service animals.

Stay safe. "Up the irons!", brother!

Hopefully, no one is seriously taking advice from a conspiracy theory message board. Local officials are who you need to listen to.

yep mine too. Sometimes it sounds like two cats fighting on my back porch. We're lucky. We still have power. some areas don't

How far are you from fayetteville?

Thank you. She did evacuate. She is a hard-working, ambitious, gorgeous 25 year old who bought her first home 2 years ago.

She poured money, sweat and blood into fixing it up. Now it is inhabited by toxic floodwaters that continue to rise.

What a heart break!

Nothing burger.

Seriously. Like who says oh I have to evacuate but let me check GlP first?
Come the fuck on...

Good to hear. House can be repaired/replaced, your daughter cannot.

not to pry too much, but what vicinity is her house in?

will homeowner's cover it?

Hmm, it got way too eerily quiet and I know this storm isn't over. Like, no winds

I was thinking about that just now, and then the sound came back. Not as bad as previously, but still concerning.

least i'm not the only one. Be safe. I should go outside and make a video of it. ;p

I've still got power and am not underwater (yet), and I'm on GLP. I'm okay!

Trolls who call Flo a "nothing burger" and make light of people's suffering, this vid's for you, and no it's not from 9/18.

And whatever happened in Hawaii with Olivia?

Actually these threads by Luis are the first place many people look.

His info is accurate and he does a great job of managing the thread and won't hesitate to boot someone whom is deliberately putting out misinformation or trolling the thread.
