Anyone in the path..NEEDS TO HEED the warnings.

I appreciate that sentiment, Abs, but the more I see the more confident I am that our biggest concern will be keeping our food cold. We're about two miles from one of the many evacuation centers, which is funny when you consider the "mandatory" evacuation order (nothing like the government covering their ass from lawsuits). It's looking like it will skirt the coast starting up around Morehead City NC heading south and coming on shore up around Myrtle Beach SC as a Cat 1 (this is based on the in-house models put up by our local forecasters). We're a good ways from Myrtle Beach. There will a lot of wind and rain down here where we're bunkered, but luckily we're out of the storm surge zones (we're actually about 20 miles from the coast). Unless something changes drastically in the next day or two, it will be a lesser repeat of Matthew two years except we'll be on the better side of the storm as far as wind is concerned.
I'm not being stubborn or stupid, we've given this a lot of thought and talked it out. The upside is I'll be here to act on any damage immediately, stop any of the opportunistic fools who may decide to roam (loot) the neighborhood, and we won't have to wait for the government to tell us we can go home.
Believe me, if I thought my wife's life would be in danger, I'd high tail out of here. With her...

Who the f*ck wants to live in Jacksonburg, NC? Crap. Hell, I'd leave and not go back. Done it once before

Man, he must've loved the 2nd MarDiv then. Of ALL the Marine bases in the world to retire next to, Swamp Lejeune is dead last on MY list. I'd rather retire on Oki.He's a medically retired Gunny, so there's that .................
Hope all is well. Tell the Gunny he stood too close to one to many 8" rounds going off if he goes back

Here's a pic my old Reno Harley Davidson Service Manager posted this morning on his facebook with the caption, "here it comes"... he's in Myrtle Beach... I almost got stationed there at Shaw AFB, but at the last minute my orders got changed for Nellis AFB from tech school...

Myrtle Beach got slammed, and still is. Hope your friend is ok.

For all the frantic calls for evacuation and battening down the hatches, we got a whole lot of nothing.
