Retarded,
Entire coast of South Carolina being evacuated because people follow public servants like sheep, thinking public servants are some how qualified to make these calls, B.S.
Ground zero has shifted to North Carolina but somehow South Carolina just doesnt get it, public servants clueless and the public at large, dumbed down and even more clueless.
All for a hurricane still 1000 miles away and NOT ONE warning area along the coast has been issued by NOAA yet.

Its still laughable for a storm 1000 miles away. Amazing how the news organizations, politicians have got the snowflakes so figured out, crying wolf, making themselves look like heroes, disturbing everyones plans for a hurricane that is a moving target until the final 48 hours or so. They dont point out,they have already been "off" target by a couple hundred miles in the days before.
Amazing ... how people can no longer reason and think for themselves.
Hand a snowflake a dollar and change for a soda and watch them punch it into the cash register to figure out if the customer gets change. Now throw in planning for a hurricane, and they are clueless.

Maybe the storm is a Chinese hoax?

Because you want another Houston to happen, right? Or another New Orleans? The word prepared itself means something, if not now then for later at least. Worst that happens is the state gets wreaked but the majority of the population isn't stuck on the highway while the hurricane moves inland. Best case is that the hurricane turns away or does very minimal damage and the people are set for next time. Either everybody wins and is safe or somebody will complain how "people had all the time and warning to be prepared" when people inland start getting hurt.

Most people can think for themselves whoever there is always a portion of population like elderly, poor etc who need some help making a good prudent choice. I think the use of word Snowflake makes a person appear a simpleton in thinking especially when misapplied.

My sister lives in an eastern suburb of Charlotte. I'm quite worried. Her neighbors were there for Hugo...they said the power was out for 2 weeks. One neighbor had 18 downed trees. I've been trying to talk her into a road trip to Nashville.
The general population has to depend on the Weather Service for the best assessment of an approaching so the prudent thing to do is to follow instructions from agency taked with public safety.
Hurricane and Storm Surge Warnings now issued.

I have some family near Columbia, SC that headed down to Gainesville, FL to avoid any problems.
Looks like the current projection is now more south and east.

It is. Good for us. Terrible for folks in SC. NC is still about to get hammered.
We've got our sandbags placed, cars filled, cash on hand, medications, food, water, batteries and all of our outdoor stuff secured, as well as much of my garage moved indoors (it's the low point of the house, and at a 7 foot surge, stands to get water).
The Navy put out to sea yesterday and is flying jets far inland today.

Well you can eat your words ... like I said it was laughable to think the storm was going to go where predicted so far in advance.
As you can see by the 5AM NHC chart, they are now clueless where the hurricane will hit.
The rest of your statement makes no sense but thats easy too see.

Why?
I live near Columbia, its bullet proof (no pun intended)
Worse that could happen here is you lose power. Too far inland for a major hurricane, though if you live below a dam that could be a danger, I made sure we live above the dams ...
)
Not sure why they went to Florida, do they not know there is a 60% chance of a hurricane forming in the gulf in the coming days?
MUCH much worse off in FL during a storm, then high and dry Columbia.
The bottom line is, the NHC has NO clue what so ever where the hurricane is going to go, but looking like at the least its going to go through SC, yet, with so many changes in the path in the last 12 hours, they are now even clueless as to the timing of the storm, its been pushed back almost 24 hours now!
and ... why I posted what I did, above ... days ago...

Then like I said, at least people are still ready right now instead of waiting for the last moment when the threat of the hurricane hitting them is still very real. But then again it's the media, experience > media. I would hope the residents of the hurricane states have enough severe storm or hurricane experience to know what to expect.

Its always good to play it safe and leave.
Alarmguy is the type of guy that lives on his boat, and then decides to weather out the hurricane in his boat, in a marina, because those "public service idiots" don't know what they are talking about.
Turned off the news when they were clearly hyping the event and wrong. Days out the TV weather 'experts' were talking about a possible cat 5. Worse than the cat 4 Hazel of 1954. What did we get? A soon to be cat 1 headed South not North.
