Looks like he's angling more north now and that fucker is headed straight for me - I'm right by the NC/Virginia state lines, by VA Beach.
He might burn out before he gets here though, or do what that big one did last year and just sit offshore drowning us in rain for a solid week.

This is what kept me from buying a house on the Outer Banks. After living through hurricanes in FL (we were there visiting relatives in Jax during Camille, then moved there a few years later), I just couldn't bear watching everything I owned being taken by the sea.
IMHO, the OB are due for a massive hurricane/nor'easter that will do some serious damage to those $1-3mil homes they've been building right on the ocean.
Hope everything goes well for all the coastlines that are getting hammered!!!
