My leukemia's back.

Actually, it's only the east coast of Florida that is under a Hurricane warning (which is issued 36 hours before hurricane conditions are expected, to allow time for preparations to be completed). A hurricane watch has been issued for the coast of Georgia and most of South Carolina (a watch means hurricane conditions are possible, and is issued 48 hours before the onset is considered at all likely). Several of our local beach communities have already declared states of emergency, but that also has more to do with preparations than actual expectations regarding imminent damage.

Forecasters keep saying that this is a big storm, so whether the eye touches the coast or not, tropical weather conditions can be expected at the coast and possibly well inland.

I live in a low income apt. complex and have not heard the "exact" details but 1 or2 people were shot. I had the doors locked and was watching TV when the cops drove by I heard later about it a family member saw reports on fake book.

Hearing the surge and flooding is a big worry for GA. Possibly NC. There will be a lot of rain to say the least. Take care!

Thanks, we will!

Poor Dorian; all wound up and no place to go . . .

Don't get me wrong; after what Florence did to us last year, I have the deepest sympathy for the folks in the Bahamas. I can't imagine the horror of having that beast pounding away for so . many . long . hours . and . days . and . nights. But still, there is only so much energy available in that one spot, so the longer it sits, the weaker it gets. Incredibly, devastatingly rotten for them, but better for anyone else in the future path, whatever that may be.

That is horrid.

Just a shame that low rent can't equal safe.

 

[getaclue]

Heck, high rent doesn't always equal safe nowadays.

I so agree. When I was a single mom of 4, it was hard to watch what was going on around me. Had to live in an apt. for almost 2 years.

tempted to buy a hand gun, I already have a lifetime permit to concealed carry...

 

[getaclue]

That's your decision to make. If you decide to get one, make darn sure you don't tell anyone, or let anyone see it. If anyone found out, it can make your apartment a target for a burglary, because someone wants the gun.

Did you get through the Hurricane well @Bunnylady? I think the eye passed not too far east of you.
