zerostao Posted September 12, 2018 Myself and a handful of friends are prepping for a road trip towards Wilmington soon after Florence makes her appearance. Wondering If any other Bums would like meet up and join the effort !?! Our presumed route as of now is Departing Kentucky to Knoxville-Ashville-Columbia-Wilmington My Daoist skills are not on the level to stop or divert the Storm (and I wouldnt interfere anyways) however, my Daoist skills probably are good enough to help in cleanup and sharing caring energies. And will go from there utilizing Wu For now, my thoughts are with the Good People of the soon to be impacted strike zone. This is a unique opportunity--- and I know the Good People down there would travel to help us if we were facing a Catastrophic event. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The wind gets the attention, but its the surge that does the major destruction. Hope its on the lighter side of expectations. frig, its showing 48 foot waves at its center currently. Amazing site.

If the rain accumulations are as high as they might get, the threats of rising water, flooding , washed out roads and bridges ,and Falling trees, Downed power lines , mudslides... are probably more of a concern Than storm surge which one can predictably evade. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
