A hurricane is headed our way and we are getting out of town. Shipping will be delayed until we can return on Monday or possibly later. The people will be safe. The coins will be safe. I hope the house and especially the library survive.

Be safe on the roads. You and your family will be in my thoughts.

As a Hurricane Katrina survivor, I wish you luck and offer one piece of advice: the only thing that really can't be replaced are the family photos. Make sure you take them with you!

All the best,
Cliff

Hang in there Joe. Our prayers are with you. An unfortunate hazard of living in North Carolina.

They seem to be thinking now that Irene will be no more than a category 1 hurricane by the time it reaches North Carolina. As a veteran of many hurricanes I should
think hopefully it won't cause much damage. I remember when Erin blew over us here in Gulf Breeze as a category 1. People got out and walked around to see what it
felt like. Some young folk went by on bicycles, blowing with the wind, which was rather dangerous as there was a good deal of debris blowing around. When the eye
passed over everybody went out and moved their cars to the other side of the buildings. It did knock down some pine trees. The later hurricane Ivan was another matter!

Best of luck, Joe. As a Louisianian I've seen what havoc these storms can cause. I wish you and yours well. I pray it will pass uneventfully.

I second.Before evacuating take everything you can to the second floor if possible.

I don't know how close you are to the coast, but I certainly hope that the hurricane will peter out before it reaches you. Our wishes are with you for everything to be well.

Just watching the TV and morehead city was one of the dots on the screen. right in the way of this monster. Take care and good luck. Fair winds and following seas...

Those of us living a bit further north are bracing for the hurricane on Sunday. It shouldn't be as strong but it is nevertheless of concern.

mihali84 · « **Reply #19 on:** August 26, 2011, 06:00:58 pm »

It looks like it just got downgraded to a cat 2 so that is a good sign.

I am also waiting for it to hit around Sunday morning, they say it's going to be really bad, even up in New England.

Double whammy for the US east coast, first an unusually large earthquake, and now an historical hurricane.

Good luck with evacuations Joe and stay safe, i know i will try to but i will be staying at home to weather out the storm so we shall see.

I hope you can take the most valuable parts of your library with you. My thoughts are with you!

Cat 1 now. Keep safe all,

Just saw morehead city on the news as being directly in the path. Hopefully its weakened enough to not cause so much damage for all involved. Best of luck to anyone in the area and God bless.

Yes, I monitored that storm nearly all last night, and I hope you didn't get inundated. Not only Morehead City but Norfolk, because our Akropolis lives near by.

Anyone have any updates? My newspaper had a byline from Morehead City, but maddeningly, they mentioned virtually nothing of the state of the city.

I certainly hope for the best. I live in an area without hurricanes, but I witnessed firsthand the destructive power of winds of a once in a lifetime windstorm a few years ago. The whole city was out, and the winds were c. 50-70 mph max. I can't imagine even a "weak" hurricane.
