We are as prepared as possible. Will ride it out at home. My husband is too disabled to move him anywhere and I can care for him the best. We are not in a flood zone and our house can take 135 mph winds. We have lots of neighbors close by who will help if needed. And my little pond is built with great overflow and drainage so that won't be a problem I hope. Our city and coastline will be very damaged from the 25-40" of rain though. Wind is just beginning here, Thurs 7am. Eye may pass 75 mi. south of us tomorrow morning as of now.

Sounds very scary to me @BarbO Praying for you and all the others in it's path! I turned on the tv this morning and they said it is heading straight for Wilmington right now and should hit tomorrow morning sometime.

I don't follow the news or the weather channel so I wonder how long does it take for a hurricane to pass through and be over?
