@KingstonsMom

I agree.

I wish it was all media hype. I see 107,000 are without power and it has not made landfall yet.

Stay safe everyone.

What a strange comment.

Do you not believe this is a serious situation?

There is already significant flooding and the hurricane hasn't even made landfall.

I think the term media hype has been over used and misused as much as the term politically correct. Reporting of news is not media hype.

THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT MEDIA HYPE!!!

Unless you are already personally victimized by loss of anything during a HURRICANE, TORNADO, CYCLONE,TROPICAL STORM, NOR'EASTER, TSUNAMI, ETC., the media cannot stress strongly enough to take and heed the media warnings VERY SEIOUSLY!!!

FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER AS THAT PROBABLY WILL SAVE YOU AND EVERYTHING WHICH HAS A BEATING HEART THAT YOU LOVE FROM LOSS OF LIFE.

BE SMART, LISTEN, FOLLOW WARNINGS AND DIRECTIONS AND STAY SMART AND SAFE.

My one cousin moved to Myrtle Beach to escape snow and cold in the north. and to be closer to her kids. This is her first hurricane. She fled her new home 2 days ago already (after it was boarded up) and is staying with family 2 states away. Shes very worried about her property holding up. She just bought the home less than 2 years ago. I hope everyone is safe. Been watching on CNN all night. Lots of areas are already flooded and power out in areas. And it doesnt hit land till morning.

We left Wilmington two days ago, we’re in hotel in Richmond. I’m praying for everyone who stayed, we were just too afraid to stay.

@Hayfield

So glad you are safe!

reading Twitter just now, there are stranded people needing rescue and they sound quite frantic. Water is rising and they are trapped. So glad you made the choice you did❤️

It appears this morning the storm is petering out. Although still a lot of rain, and always present possibility of storm surge, but down to a cat 1. i've lived through a few cat 1 & 2 storms when I was a kid spending the summers in Fl. Back then there weren't near the building codes nor anything like storm shutters or hurricane glass & underground electric that exist today. I remember my Uncle having people come out to turn the gas off, and putting up plywood on the doors & windows. He did not have a garage so he'd take his car to a garage in town and have to walk home about 5 miles.And turning off the pool pumps and draining the water down real low.

Some of the pics and videos posted on The Weather Channel's site are heartbreaking. The storm surge combined with rainfall and the slow-moving storm makes this one a particularly dangerous situation.

We lived through Sandy here, and I get upset when I hear about hundreds of people rescued (most new reports are saying over 200 rescued in New Bern) because they did not heed the order/warnings to evacuate. This puts the first responders at risk.

God bless everyone experiencing this storm right now.

While my heart does go out to those who have storm damage - the weather channel does REALLY over dramatize everything.

Tell that to the 400,000 people without power and in need of being rescued.
