    Drove out of Charleston SC yesterday AM, all lanes westbound because of approaching storm. All the way to Columbia. Really strange seeing cars on the other side going the same way as me. ### over tea kettle wrong lol.

    Just for giggles I warned the 'eastbound' side to watch out for wrong-way drivers.

    Just came through Columbia, SC today on my way to Jacksonville... I-26 was still closed to eastbound traffic but I was planning on avoiding I-95 and ended up taking US 301 south to stay inland a bit... skirted the whole system and sitting in Jacksonville now with the Virginia Dust still on my truck.

    Im thinking storm will be just east of Hatteras Light. So Im not worried about it this time.

    I am about ready to throw up with some the reporters making a mountain out of a little dab of breeze and rain. They should be kneeling in ecstatic joy that the heat and bugs are gone today.

    It was downgraded to a Cat2 yesterday morning. Why all the evac proceedings?

    They still have I-16 west bound only too off the Georgia coast. Or at least they did this morning.
