Schools around here are shut down, all county offices closed, i'm hearing that Ft Bragg is essential personnel only. Far as i know were looking at wind and rain.
 
Closed schools in our area for tomorrow. Quoted potential 50mph winds and fallen trees as the issue for students traveling to and from.
 
Yeah schools closed I gotta be reporting to work at 0700 in the morning
 
Shee-it. It’s crossing right over mom’s.

Yes it is. It's looking like they'll be sending me down to Florida to help with storm duty (I work in power distribution). It'll be interesting to see how Florida does this, compared to other states I've helped in.

Could be a busy fall…. I mean busier fall….

Nice. Duke Energy is the client I work with for my company, and they've got a big workload to deal with. DEP is ready to go and doing what they need to do to prepare. They're definitely not blind to what's going on.

I’m wondering why you have such a hellacious wind forecast that far east of the storm. Wonder if it changed tracks?

Hurricane Ian Discussion Number 29
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL092022
500 PM EDT Thu Sep 29 2022

Ian remains a hybrid tropical cyclone with characteristics of an
extratropical low, including a comma-pattern on satellite images
and some frontal features in the outer circulation.

What I think that means is that Ian has an inner core structure like a tropical cyclone, but that it's outer structure is elongated due to interaction with a trough: thus rain/wind effects perhaps stretched out to the NE.
 
Just looking at Fox Weather on line and Ian is back to being a hurricane, a Cat 1 with 75 mph winds.
Wonder if it will strengthen over night?

Ian regains hurricane strength ahead of final landfall after Florida pummeled by historic storm

Hurricane Ian made two landfalls in Southwest Florida on Wednesday afternoon as a catastrophic Category 4 storm. Ian had maximum sustained winds of 150 mph as it crashed ashore near Cayo Costa, Florida. Ian will continue to bring life-threatening flooding, storm surge and high winds to parts of...

So maybe this question has been answered already. Is it safe to say this storm will lose some serious power when it drifts into sixty degree temperatures?
I don’t recall anytime in my life where it was this cool with a hurricane incoming.

Apparently not. It's now called a hybrid, having characteristics of a hurricane and a noreaster. There's a trough dropping which will grab it and give us more rain Sunday and Mon.

Yep. Davidson County schools closed also. Employees work until 12. Such a waste. Rain and wind. Our school board is quite yuppified
 
Chatham county schools are closed too. My wife just started driving a school bus in September, and was getting worried about driving if it was really windy on Friday.
I told her she’d be fine, and then egged her on by telling her to be ready to counter-steer if the bus started sliding. :)
My older daughter (who just completed the classroom portion of drivers Ed) told her - it will be fine mom, just drift it around corners if you need to. Lol!

Wait till it's 31⁰ and a frog pees on the road. All hell will break loose and they will close everything.

They’ll find a reason! So sad. Last year they canceled for a potential snow storm. It was pretty the next day.
 
Looks like second landfall right around Charleston then up across S. Carolina and right through Charlotte.

My oldest son is just inland from Charleston. Wife will be extra worried. He hasn't talked to us in 3 years
 
sigh, they promised wind and rain up and down in this part of GA. let me tell you…… it was just windy.

they closed all the wal marts down at 2. Schools from Brunswick up to Savanna we’re closed today and tomorrow. Post was closed for all “non essential” folks.

Krogers was packed till around 6. we sold out of our generators yesterday. so many people coming in getting things for their generators.

All while i’m thinking, “y’all shoulda done all this last week”

but anywho, no rain, nada, not even a slight wisp of moisture falling from the heavens above. so not sure if i should count my chickens or be disappointed as i was looking forward to the rain.

Lots of rain and very mild winds right now.

First time in my life I ever turned on the heat in the house during a “tropical” storm.

Grand young'un will be here all day and she’s sorta close to the floor, so I figured I’d warm things up a smidge for her.

Wife stayed home in the face of the doom and gloom forcast. This is our first tropical storm. I had to turn on the heat because she was all " it's going to be even colder if the power go off. I want it to be as warm as possible in here before that happens."

Yeah, my neighbor and I were talking a couple days ago and anticipating a bunch of muggy tropical air coming in, and were surprised to see the forecast temps so low.

This is definitely weird, but I guess weird is normal for this era we are in!
