In the Morning

Can you wait and make a decision in the morning? I think that the track will be pretty evident by then.

I planned on waiting in the morning. I live in central NC so I figured either way I am going to get something. The trip to the beach was for my honeymoon. Guess we can plan one later in the month

If you are coming down for any events here in the Cape Fear area most have been canceled. Mercedes Golf Tournament at Landfall, Cape Fear Soccer Tournament just to name a few.

No fun at the SC/NC beaches this weekend. You might even get smacked by a tropical storm or worse, hurricane Saturday night / Sunday morning.

The track is the key. If it does stay just onshore, as is forecast, we'll have some strong tropical storm force winds on the immediate coast with plenty of rain (3-6"). If it somehow moves a little right of the current forecast and can stay just offshore, we could be dealing with a hurricane here on saturday morning. Time will tell.

Bonnie is on her way! Looks like we are going to get hit around Midnight by torrential rains and gusty winds.
