Definitely trying to get everybody on board with getting the F out of here, lol. It looks like we could still be alright to fly out Saturday but I don't want to risk it. Just not worth it to risk being stuck here.

Supposed to be flying to Pitt on Friday and then coming back to Myrtle on Sunday, then would have to drive the 2 hours South to Charleston, and then hope it isn't coming or turn around and evacuate. Or hope the flight even gets to Myrtle on Sunday. Thinking of just cancelling the trip. Would be out $200, but better than being stressed the whole weekend, plus out pets, etc. We are 8 miles away from the ocean and have a 4 foot crawl space, but the wind scares me, not the flooding.

No worries of storm surge out here but the sustained winds of that caliber and the constant heavy rain is what we have to worry about inland. If the storms track stays to the east of me I'm good, if it moves to the west I'm screwed.
