Florence has gone down to category 2, but to quote this article...

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/09/13/us/hurricane-florence-south-east-coast-wxc/index.html

“And don't be fooled by the fact that Florence has weakened slightly to a strong Category 2 hurricane. Categories only represent the speed of sustained winds, and these are still destructive.

‘I don't care if this goes down to a Category 1. We're still going to have a Category 4 storm surge,’ CNN meteorologist Chad Myers said.”

It might be Houston all over again given how slow she's moving.  Be careful and don't take anything for granted when it comes to hurricanes, ponies!

Honor and prayers,

Summer Storm

As a Floridian whose lived through countless hurricanes, I understand the fear and worry that arises during and after these storms. Most important thing is to keep your head held up high and just have faith that everything will get better, cause it will! Although the storm has faded to a tropical storm, there's still plenty of damage to recover from. To all those affected, I wish you all the best!

Has anyone felt like this hurricane was over-hyped by the media? Because Florence wasn't as devastating as it seemed to be.

That's not really a bad thing. If the media hypes it up, then people will take it, and by extension their own saftey and preparations, seriously.

If the damage isn't as bad, great. But in case it does, it's good to have people be worried.

As someone who lives in northwestern SC -- thankfully, the wind's gone now, and we didn't lose power.

My father was actually working in North Carolina the day the hurricane struck. Thankfully, he evacuated in time and made it back home.

[SkySilver 28]

Hoping everyone who's area is being hit is safe and ok.

I'm glad that he was able to make it out in time.

Well, thank God I survived! We got a ton of rain and a lot of powerful winds!

Besides a few branches that fell (Pretty Large) were okay!
