I worked for the DOD on black projects. My friend at EAFB/NASA/NOAA tells me that they are launching to 60k' every hour from VA into the storm. Says listen to NOAA not the local because they pump things up. The storm is still dangerous however.

Latest tracking information from GFS has it making landfall tonight (!!!) around West Palm Beach, FL, and staying inland until Hilton Head, SC.  It weakens significantly which helps with the wind.  Rain and storm surge will still be a big factor. This is still early and the model isn't finished running.  Please be safe.

My daughter called from the road (Greenville, SC) and said they told everyone in Savannah east of I-95 to evacuate. For those of you not all that familiar with the area, that's pretty much the entire city (about 140,000 folks or so, including one or two of ours). Serious stuff.

I live 12 miles inland from West Palm Beach.  We dodged another one; only got wind gusts under 45 mph and no power outage.  My sister in law in Orlando lost power since 8 pm last night.  It looks like the Daytona area got most of the storm.  You never know about these storms and have to always play it safe and prepare.

Well, my daughter's just getting into the thick of it.  She's in St. Augustine, west of I-95.  They've been getting solid rain all night and now the wind's picking up.

I'm supposed to headed up to Blue Ridge, north of Wilkesboro.  Wish I'd gone up yesterday.  It's been coming down pretty steady all morning here in Charlotte.

Bags are packed, but not loaded on the bike, yet.
