Show a little encouragement, guys.

Good luck on your adventure, Batlord.

Flashbacks from Sandy are affecting my mood on this.

Chuck's gonna be just fine.

30-40 mph winds aren't bad at all. It's the flooding that'll be the biggest problem.

Oof I'm gonna die in this in case y'all were wondering I'm in the direct path

Get the f*ck out if you can dummy. I've been trying to get my friend who lives in Wilmington to leave and he won't. At least he's away from the river now.

Rent a motel room somewhere far away and just pack a sports bag and a backpack. Stay until it's cooled down, then go back and see how your home is doing. It will cost a bit of money and be a bit of a hassle, but come on.

It will be like a small adventure!

I feel like just taking the chance is a bad idea.

No one else I know is leaving and I'd rather die if I'm gonna die tbh I know I should take it seriously so I guess I am

Chris Cuomo interviewed a woman who's choosing to stay even though she's in the direct path of it. Her logic was she needs to stay because of her business so she can "look after things". Cuomo was pretty much pleading with her to evacuate.

He's got her contact info and is going to keep in touch with her while he's reporting from down there during the storm. Will be interesting to see how this all turns out.

How long until the storm hits?

Seems crazy to me that people wouldn't evacuate. Worst case scenario is you spend some money on petrol and it's a bit inconvenient not being at home for a few days. Worst case scenario if you stay is you lose everything.
