The East Coast could be hit with a powerful hurricane as Tropical Storm Florence continues to strengthen as it moves toward the mainland, forecasters said Saturday.
Florence is expected to become a major hurricane by Monday, the National Hurricane Center said, adding that “a rapid intensification” is forecast to begin Sunday.
The storm is forecast to become a “major hurricane” Monday, travel between Bermuda and the Bahamas on Tuesday and Wednesday before approaching the southeastern U.S. coast on Thursday, the Miami-based weather center said.
Officials in the Carolinas warned residents to prepare and to brace for impact.
Governors in both South Carolina and Virginia declared a state of emergency Saturday to give their states time to prepare for the possible arrival of the storm. South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster emphasized that there’s no way to know yet when and where the storm will hit land, or when evacuations might be called.

 

here we go again

 

Damn.. the price we pay.

 

I wish hurricanes had attacked the Confederacy during the Civil War. They must have, but I have never read about the damage they caused.

 

For some reason , Google has been giving me updates (unprompted) on Florence for several days now.

Just illustrates how much Google tracks (and remembers) our past interests.
I haven't shown an interest in hurricanes for months ,
but google figures I should know all about this.
LOL

 

really????

 

We don't do hurricanes here.
We're earthquake people.

 

You reall do know anything real about anything . Now you have really pissed me of with your stupidity. You're very lucky I can't spell very well . I or I would elaborate.

 

There are many many "predicted" paths for this storm, a few have it going back out to sea. Hopefully, the going back out to sea is the correct prediction.

 

Unchain that dog in your picture , and let him run away.

As a side note, when British forces attacked and burned Washington DC during the War of 1812, a massive storm is credited with driving them out of Washington.

 

This might sound insensitive but hopefully it hits as far south as possible. I don't feel like dealing with another Irene.

 

No 'might' involved there, champ.

Yes, wish adversity on others in order to avoid your own discomfort. Nice.

 

Well shit. Hopefully the damage is minimal.

 

Fuck off you weird ass stalker.

It's about time you actually said something though rather than just liking every insulting thing said to me like a coward.

We aren't equipped to deal with hurricanes. They are. I don't have to explain a damn thing to somebody who acts all high and mighty but says nothing when somebody repeatedly mocks the special needs. Coward.

 

Me? Stalker? Who ran around yesterday commenting on every post I made? Time to look in the mirror, champ.

But let's get back to your comment, shall we? Twin to "I'm not a racist, but ..."

You're wishing damage and destruction on either your southern countrymen or on other countries. Because you don't feel like dealing with it yourself.

 

You've been liking every insulting post towards me for weeks. And attacking me completely unprovoked. So yeah, stalker. I responded to the posts you made about me whether directly or indirectly and to your bullshit posts on the subject with your crocodile tears. You don't exist to me outside of your posts I unfortunately come across. Get over yourself, sweetie.

Twin to "I'm not a racist, but"? Are you serious right now? No it isn't. And your culture vulture ass is in no position to talk about racism.

Just like anybody else would. Better them than me, and if you say otherwise you're a damn liar.

 

Keep swinging, champ. You'll connect with someone at some point, I'm sure. But it won't be me, and it won't be today.
