Default Hurricane Florence

Made our weekly run to the grocery store this evening--the bread and water aisles are pretty bare. Two empty pallets in the front of the store that had water on them. Forecast now is for this hurricane to hit the coast very hard. In 96 we got hit by Fran, it was around 115mph when it hit land. Saying this one could be much stronger, likening it to Hazel back in the 50's. I'm 2-3 hrs inland from the coast and we still got hit so hard by Fran we were without power for 5 days--ran a chainsaw pretty solid for the first 2 days. Weather guys are obviously being quite cautionary about the storm predicitions, but saying the rain could be as much as 12" here, no way to tell yet about the wind.

I know there are some OCC members quite near the coast who could take a pretty hard hit from this. A. Cecil comes to mind, think J. Brewer as well.

Friend down east (eastern NC) says they are running combines hard as they can on anything ready to harvest (I think just corn at the moment).

I cranked up my generator today--much like my lawnmowers its OLD (TJD Wisconsin if that tells you anything). Need to make sure we have saw gas mixed up.

Any way, just rambling a bit. Hurricanes are pretty serious business, especially when they head straight inland. Hopefully this thing starts to fizzle out before it hits, but right now its not looking good.

I hope you're not going to get hit. And if you do get hit, I hope it is not as hard as they say in the forecast. While I'm in NJ and not in the forecasted path of Florence, I'm going to prepare anyway.

My parents were supposed to leave Wednesday to head down to the bottom of Virginia, needless to say they have cancelled those plans. If you're in the area, stay safe.

It's probably going to hit, and here's why. It's not because the weather experts think it will hit.... We have a camping trip scheduled to Carolina Beach, near Wilmington with a Thursday arrival. We reserved a month ago. As soon as I saw this storm in its infancy off the coast of Africa I knew it was going to be a threat to our plans. Right now the National Hurricane Center track shows it going almost directly over Carolina Beach on Thursday. What are the odds???

Stay safe down there and hope for the best.
On a side note:
My brother moved to Loris SC in 2017, looks like they may get hit pretty hard.

11am NHC update says Flo is a Cat 3, predicted to be Cat 4
8pm Thursday eye landfall at SC/NC border.

Stat safe up there and don't be foolish and stay if your within a few miles of the coast.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
