Tropical Hurricane Dorian

Looking more and more towards a matthew deal as it passes Florida (which matthew was much closer to FL than Dorian appears ***SO FAR** will be).. for the Carolinas.

Anxiously awaiting the GEFS members.

If anyone can use any accumulated vacation time for this, Samaritans Purse is a very worthy cause. They are always one of the first on the scene.
 
I don't particularly trust rainfall prediction maps with hurricanes but certainly some flooding potential

I hope Charleston folks are paying attention. I was there earlier in the summer and a normal summer thunderstorm flooded and closed several streets. I don’t even want to think what the surge will be like with a storm approaching from this direction not to mention the 10-20 inches of rain.

Flooding is a very localized issue. What you experienced is typical. Downtown is notorious for it and will certainly have high water, but that is a regular occurrence. Mt Pleasant only in limited areas near the tidal creeks and harbor. Other areas are the same. Storm surge will not be a factor except on the barrier islands.
