OK, i'm officially getting a little worried about this young lady - she's starting to look like a carolina girl. the current track takes her right into charleston - well, maybe...we'll know for sure by monday. there doesn't appear to be any weather systems that are going to make her move north or south.

i thought i would start this thread, as she is bound to affect a lot of people from florida up to virginia. let's just hope she takes a quick turn north in the next couple of days...right now, it doesn't look good.

for all those tracking, the noaa has great info:

she may be scary...but she sure is pretty:

That's a cool shot.

If you look at the cloud formations, you can see that she's affecting the weather patterns for the whole N. Atlantic.

I hope that thing misses me. It looks pretty big.

it's only a category 5 (160 MPH) - what are you afraid of?

the last category five (mitch - 1998) killed 11,000 people in central america.

After that, you could probably start looking for your short 'n silkys somewhere around Raleigh.

lol - it took me 22 hours to get to spartanburg. 11 hours just to get from mount pleasant to summerville (normally a 20 minute drive). that evacuation was an amazing experience to look back on - although it was total hell while going through it....

**MrChuckles** · 09-12-2003, 05:57 PM

Is there any further news on this? One of my staff is going to Florida on holiday on Saturday for two weeks - How am I going to get my mickey mouse hat if this takes a turn for the worse?

**ViRGo_RK** · 09-12-2003, 06:12 PM

Did he get the insurance that comes with alot of the reservations you can make, such as hotel and all? I know that the hotel I stayed at offered weather insurance, such as if there is a hurricane, you can leave without risking the loss of a deposit, and you got a hotel room at a later date for no charge.

I hope they got the insurance policy.

**MrChuckles** · 09-12-2003, 06:22 PM

Well, seeing as we work for a US insurance giant, I sorted him out with a good deal - I just really want the mickey mouse hat!

**onlinegs.com** · 09-12-2003, 08:36 PM

Chuckles, just threaten to fire him if he doesn't get ya that hat...should make him pretty determined

Good luck, nordels, gerbs, and all. Although, I think I would rather have Hurricanes then these freak tornadoe's we will get in the Midwest.

Edit: Chuckles...is that phrase in your footer how you answere your clients when they put in a claim?

**MrChuckles** · 09-12-2003, 09:29 PM

unfortunately, in my particular line, I don't speak to the claimants, but to their solicitors, so, in answer to your question...

yes

but only if I'm in a good mood

**vampstko** · 09-12-2003, 10:30 PM
