So, As some of you might know, I am in Charleston, SC now. In about 8-10 hours, I get to go through Ernesto, Woo hoo. This should be interesting, even though it has been reduced to a tropical storm, we are still expecting very heavy rains, flooding, and winds up to 60mph. The best part is Charleston, SC is 3 ft above sea level. Should be interesting, and 1FASTZ (I think that’s his username) is staying with me now with his G-friend, so they get to go through it with me today. Fun fun… ---

Basically here is the scoop now… The govenor has to call for an evacuation obviously for everyone to leave. My work has not called for anything, just a nice letter from our safety guy to not do anything stupid, and watch yourself in this situation. Since the hurricane passed Florida, it regained a little strength and will pass Charleston with the eye only about 0-1 mile off shore. Myrtle beach will be hit the worst, which is relative because the storm isn’t a huge one like Hugo was. Basically, it is starting to rain real heavy now, and the winds are just now picking up. If this starts to get real interesting, I have a digital camcorder now and will film some of it for you all to enjoy. For reference, I am only about 5.5 miles inland, and about 7 miles north of downtown. As for all other questions about being down here, I can’t believe all you people are still living up there. ---

Enjoy the rain and wind…it was nasty here yesterday but nothing to really rant and rave about. I don’t think it will be that big of a deal when it hits there. Usually you should be worried if it’s a Cat. 2 or higher. ---

winds up to 70mph expected in some locations… the only thing i’m worried about is taking the dogs out in the pouring rain at ~5am. :meh: it’s already rainin’ pretty heavily here though… edit: who wants to watch for rain-related accidents?
