Thinking about buds on the central east coast


Just a heads up and good luck shout-out to our buddies in the Carolinas and Virginia. Looks like Hurricane Florence is bearing down right on the guys at HQ Kites in OBX and other kite peeps in the region such as Chad, Chris R, Scott and others. Hope you guys get out of dodge and can find safe haven.

We are told here in the Golden Isles that a CAT 4 would put all of Glynn County except the airport under water.

Be safe guys and keep in touch.

I chatted with Chris who lives in Kill Devil Hills this morning. He says they are staying put. I'm a little worried about that, but he must need to stay or feel enough confidence in the reports to not evacuate. He would have to drive 6-10 hours to get out of trouble from this storm.

Anyone in South Carolinas that wants to bug out come on to Aiken. Even N. Carolina isn't that far
3 hours from Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Edisto and Hilton head.
Can bed down 10 in 2 motor coaches. 5/5
We'll get some rain and some wind but no storm surge and that's the bad stuff.
Looks like Sat and Sun. may be the worst days.
There's plenty of food and water here even some good BBQ.
Prayers to all that ride it out.
