I always got the sense that the Lian account was at least partly genuine, in that the basic details were right. So embarrassment was in character.

Hatteras Island has been subject to mandatory evacuation. There is currently nobody, resident or visitor, on the island. 25 coastal and inland counties in eastern North Carolina have been placed under States of Emergency by the governor. The entire North Carolina coast has been issued voluntary evacuations. Lots of people, mostly visitors, are coming back into western parts of NC. Ferry service is scheduled to run regularly for those who decide they still want to evacuate before the storm hits, but the ferry service will be halted when the hurricane gets too close to the coast (meaning wind speeds get too high for the ferries to safely make their voyages), meaning anybody who decided to stay on the islands will be stranded until the hurricane passes.

That sounds nasty. But are you safe where you're at/in your part of the state?

I don't know. After the Avalar incident, I sorta became more suspicious of that event. I did feel a bit angry for her:him inventing the sisters accounts which just kept talking about how great Lian was. That did rub me the wrong way. I saw that invention as unnecessary. We liked her. No need for inventing accounts with fake sisters.

Yeah, plenty. We'll only get rain with the route the storm is projected to take. Hopefully the rain doesn't extend past morning, I have a family cookout tomorrow evening and my cousin is shooting off fireworks (the ones purchased from South Carolina :twisted:).
