I was thinking fuel specialist. Last man to leave when everyone else has fuel to get off the ground.

Fuels guys have it rough. I'd never want to work with that much JP8 that often ever.

I was bulk fuel in the Marine Corps. Wasn’t a bad gig. Either played with jet fuel and diesel powered toys or got fapped out tdy to pull security with grunt units. Never had a hurricane but went through a typhoon in Okinawa.

Stay safe guys. It's stuff like this that makes me think I should prep better in case of a major earthquake. We're way overdue and there's no advance warning. As long as the garage doesn't fall down I could survive for about a week with what's in the house right now. If the pool doesn't explode I've got 3000 gallons of water at least. Haha.

I live a few miles from Charlotte. We have forecasted 75 mph winds and flooding. Just over 3 hours from the beach. Already gas lines and packed grocery stores.

We’ll see what happens as the forecast changes.

The next 24 to 36 hours should be crazy I'm betting. Still not sure why mid coastal sc jumped the gun....unless they know something we don't.

If it was direct or close to it I’d be out of here but as it sits now it’s supposed to hit at the nc sc border which doesn’t concern me at all

Unless that Bermuda Ridge pushes it and it turns directly into SC

Perks of working for the DoD. I dont get to bugger until all the jets are gone. Ugh. Going to be the best/worst Hurrication to date. Traveling in 2 cars with 4 dogs, 1 cat and a 2 yr old. Going to be SIK! Good thing is that I already have an BnB lined up in Gatlinburg. The wife is stressing over it, truth be had, I'm stressing over it too. Topped my 34 Gal LRA gas tank up this afternoon. I can squeeze ~480 miles out of it squeezing the seat between my cheeks but its the parking lot on 26 that I'll be more stressed about. Rumor told me that last year it took some people 8 hrs to go 100 miles and that's not cool, especially with the funny farm I'll be wagon training with. #MilitaryLyfe Edit: Also heard from the neighbor that some were sitting in traffic for 36 hrs. NOPE

My dad sat in traffic on 26 between Charleston and Columbia for over 14 hours in 99 for Floyd...the evac plans were supposed to be heavily revamped after that disaster

There’s a lot of reasons, but starting the mandatory evacuations early lowers the chances that the routes are parking lots up until the storm figures out where it’s going. You don’t want to wait until the last minute to evacuate areas as populated as the SC coast

And if you figure SC has around 200 miles of coastline, and the storm is 500 miles wide if you include the rain bands, and 250 miles wide without the bands....even if the eye hits Little River/Shallotte, Hilton Head can easily experience quite a bit of hurricane

They’ve closed everything from the coast up through the midlands...and buses from school districts all over the state are staging to assist in evacuations...and schools will be used as shelters

After experiencing several SC hurricanes, including Hugo...I don’t fuck with them...i live in Lexington and have a plan for 1 dog to go to my parents and I’ll be keeping the other here...there’s already a survival bag in my closet and aux batteries for cell phones are charged up...both vehicles were gassed up Sunday

We’re here an staying put. All fueled up with petrol and propane, generators all primed and ready. Not to mention we just used all the camp gear over Labor Day so it’s all still accessible. If anyone here in the low country has to bail out but wants to stay close let me know we can put you up. @dan0mite @scottalot @ahspurlock @ThaiChillyTaco @Apexgigi @Bubbles anyone else I forgot call me!

That seems a little excessive

They can in fact arrest you for failing to evacuate after mandatory orders

Will they? Depends on a lot of things and I'd imagine an arrest would only occur if emergency crews were forced to come rescue you after you refused to evacuate

Maybe, but I think Adam's point is more about self reliance and personal choices.

This. It allows for the potential of additional risk to property and life when first responders have to go out and save people that refuse to leave. Not saying you'll need saving, or that you'll put yourself in a situation that requires it, but other less able people who refuse inadvertently put other peoples lives at risk..

Like the Bozos that try to drive through 3 feet of water. You better believe they are getting some fines for their idiocy.

Skierrichy · Sep 11, 2018

Good luck to all that is about to be affected by the hurricane. Stay safe!

I wasn't trying to call anyone here a bozo or idiot. Hope it didn't seem like that.

Damn. Shipping is fucked this Friday

SC2SC · Sep 11, 2018

I am scheduled to be in the NC mountains for an advanced Scout leader training. Supposed to start up there at 7:30AM Friday morning- and stay in a tent...

We'll see if they call it; email excerpt I posted yesterday was about this. Right now- more worried about home than mountains. Driving in early AM darkness as the storm is making landfall may suck too!

People at Sams literally fighting over Ramen noodles. Buying 4-5 gallons of milk. People gone crazy.
