Yeah I have a plan, I just wasn’t sure if it was warranted for the Chesapeake area or not but I could easily see us getting hurricane force winds or at least a lot of flooding from the stalling that may occur.
I'm in Chesapeake too. I'm not gonna lie, I'm getting progressively more concerned with each advisory.
From the 11 discussion:
2. Life-threatening freshwater flooding is likely from a prolonged
and exceptionally heavy rainfall event, which may extend inland over
the Carolinas and Mid Atlantic for hundreds of miles as Florence is
expected to slow down as it approaches the coast and moves inland.
And your local forecast office-
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.
The risk of significant impacts from Hurricane Florence is
increasing. While there is still quite a bit of uncertainty
regarding the exact track and speed, the potential for strong winds
and prolonged extremely heavy rainfall is growing.
Please continue to closely monitor the latest forecasts on Hurricane
Florence. Take time now to put together emergency kits and put a
plan in place for your family and pets.
Prepare and take care.
