I was just telling my son that the frying pan tower would have been a wild ride Friday morning. We climb it every year. Cant imagine what those conditions must have been like

Definitely not sticking up for them, but didn’t they local NWS warn people about the flooding potential?

In the 24 hours prior, but they also saw the same sub set of data but wouldn't go against the NHC until it was too late for people to really do anything even if the message got to them. The message that got out was "its going west".

I just filled up one of our vehicles. Our main gas station in town got power on about 45 minutes ago and the line is starting to get long. Spoke to a guy that drove all the way from Spartanburg County to fill up his diesel cans to run his generator. All anyone is talking about is the hurricanes that may be coming behind this one. Morale is at an all time low

Well tell them there's a guy in S. Fl that might get cooler drier air from the next one, this should make them feel better.

On topic, stay safe and keep us updated as often as you can.
