This is still a definite possiblity unless Isabel continues to weaken. She currently appears to be regrouping and may reintensify some prior to landfall on thursday. Her sustained winds are still at 115 mph with gust to 140 mph. Still a dangerous hurricane.

Hello Howlin
I am in N. Raleigh also. I can't decide whether to evac my mom from Ocean Isle Beach to here in Raleigh , or join her to get out of the way!
She came up here for Fran and was stuck in the subdivision )with no electricity) for 3 days due to downed trees on the street. OIB was just fine!

Hey Howlin.
I got the information on the winds at accuweather.com, by typing in my zipcode and you can check the wind fields at wral.com and the national weather service. Take care and good luck with your mom and sister. I hope Izzy will not effect us but I have a bad feeling.....
