It's a big storm moving very slowly and staying partially over water, so it isn't falling apart as quickly as some hurricanes do.

Thankfully, that area of NC and SC will drain better and it's mostly rural, so there is less concrete to create river rapids between buildings.

I do feel for the people there, especially the ones in trailers and rickety homes in low lying areas. It isn't going to be pretty after the water is gone.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
