Updated track is hitting Edisto at 8 Saturday morning. Cat 3 with 115 mph winds. Who knows where it will hit, but I feel like we are due.

updated computer models look a little better for SC...
Cat 3 is no joke...get that bitch outahere!!!!
Too close to dove season for that crap. We could sure take some water, though.
I'll be damned.
Edisto along with the rest of the beaches below Grand Strand have bad enough erosion as it is. Hopefully I will not be boarding windows come Thursday and Friday

I've been saying it for years the Gulf Stream has way more effect on pushing these storms North and East of their early initial forecasted tracks. The models don't take it into account. Not saying I won't keep my eyes on her, but I think Irene will scrape us and slam Wilmington similarly to Floyd.
That path looks like the path Hazel took in the 50's. She came in on the border SC/NC and knocked the hell out of every thing in her way. I still hear "old timers talk of Hazel.
I’ve been watching Irene and the forecast puts it just about over Loris, SC on Saturday afternoon (120 hr. prediction). A lot can change though. The same 120 hr. forecast had it south of Charleston this morning.
Below is the National Hurricane Center info. You can click on “Irene” for details. I’ve been highlighting and copying (CTRL C) the 120 hour LAT/LONG coordinates in the Discussion section and then pasting them (CTRL V) into Google Earth. Works great but it’s a little scary to actually see it on there.

The way it looks right now I would cancel my fishing trip to the outer banks but I think we will be ok.

Lowcountry, besides forcing everyone to rebuild their homes to shiny new condition, please explain how a hurricane " kick started" the re market.
Um yeah, those real estate salesmen, and their partners in crime, the home loan agents really need a shot in the arm.
I had 5' of pluff mud in my down stairs for Hugo and had more than one AR-15 pointed my way after dark because all of our property was ocean front, and second row.
I will say that Hugo did a lot to improve the condo market on the beach. All those ocean front houses were gone, the owners had no more ties to the property, and sold out to the time share condo builders. Where there used to be upper middle class vacationers in Cherry Grove, now we have actual prostitutes walking the boulevard openly soliciting.
Give me a good soaker of a TS any day.
