On Tuesday it seemed like no one went to work, they went on panic shopping sprees,store parking lots and roads were clogged in Central Va, then by Friday all the stores were deserted. I went grocery shopping Friday afternoon which is usually crowded time and there were probably more cashiers than shoppers. Once again we are 200 miles away. It is laughable.

Not a very bright (can't say the what I want to write because of the political correctness police/posters here) post....look up the path and history of hurricane Charlie...there's many others as well....had personal experience with this...weather service HAS missed by MANY miles BEFORE and will AGAIN in the future...
Sure they nailed this one perfect....but those who IGNORE history are doomed to repeat....and those people preparing 200 miles away...are a MUCH smarter than you
