it’s past time for the resident weather expert step up to the plate. and I don’t mean any of those dam spaghetti graphs that show the storm could hit anywhere from California to DC

I’m in Beaufort and it looks like the end of the world.

what do I do? Do i duct tape the car windows? should i winterize the boat? Do I need the motor up or down?

I got a crew of Easy’s best Mexican carpienteros heading to the house to screw plywood over all the windows.

I’m frantic. I don’t think you people are excited enough

I just hope the rain totals don’t wind up being what they are forecasting. Ive seen anywhere from 3-18" for my neck of the woods. Hopefully it will let up around 8:00 Saturday night so my DIRECTV doesn’t go out.

I just copy and paste the good stuff from the NWS…

  • WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT MUCH OF SOUTHEAST
    SOUTH CAROLINA TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING AS A COLD FRONT
    OFFSHORE INTERACTS WITH MOISTURE STREAMING NORTH FROM HURRICANE
    JOAQUIN. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 5 TO 9 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE
    THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH LOCALIZED AMOUNTS POTENTIALLY EXCEEDING
    10 INCHES. THIS WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASED RISK FOR FLASH
    FLOODING. THE RISK FOR FLOODING ACROSS COASTAL AREAS WILL BE
    ESPECIALLY HIGH A FEW HOURS EITHER SIDE OF HIGH TIDE.

  • THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A SIGNIFICANT RAIN EVENT WITH
    WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOODING.

If there are casualties, will they be called the Joaquin dead?
