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

Maybe you should try a little better reading comprehension before running off at the mouth. Even with the worst case scenario models Florence was NEVER supposed to do more here than dump a couple inches of rain, but people were acting like they live in ground zero. This is the Panic Zone. The threshold for closing government offices and schools around here for weather is a joke. I have lived in enough different places to realize this as fact. I have only lived here 7 years, but the people who have lived here there whole lives tell me it didn't used to be that way. As an example as little as 1-2" of snow will get government offices and school closures.
I came from a place with roads and terrain way more difficult to navigate than here and a foot of snow over night meant business as usual.

Again Trump minimizes the numbers. Mistake or on purpose?

Trump tweets wrong death count for Hurricane Florence
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/09/tru...cane-florence/

News reports vary in how many people have died as a result of Hurricane Florence. Fox News currently lists the death toll at 11, while CBS says it’s 12.

One number major news organizations have not given is five.

But in an echo of his handling of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, President Donald Trump tweeted Saturday to underestimate the ongoing storm’s death toll.

“Five deaths have been recorded thus far with regard to hurricane Florence!” the president said.

You have just proved that trying to prove 'facts' by using the internet is useless. Thus, at least half of your 'facts' that you use everyday are useless. Of course, I could prove that the 1/2 that is true are actually not true by using the internet. Enter.....common sense......that would render a lot of people useless.....generally, they will prove it every day....multiple times.

Hcap couldn't read a fairy tale to a 4 year old without trashing Trump somewhere in it.
Butt-hurt crybaby liberals are so much fun to watch. It never stops and shows up anywhere.

Five deaths have been recorded thus far with regard to hurricane Florence! Deepest sympathies and warmth go out to the families and friends of the victims. May God be with them!

Chumpy is always doing that. Except in his case he minimizes deaths. As CIC, he should have done more to prevent happening.

Man both you and your Dumpkopf leader are truly the disgusting ones. puke:uke

No. Florence was predicted and known to be a massive sized storm, and traveling very slowly. Calls for flooding do the huge amounts of rain in addition to huge storm surge, allowed accurate forecasts of what the Carolinas were in for.

Another liberal who cannot read, but runs off at the mouth. I do not live in the Carolinas and was complaining about my neighbors.

Why is that Fact Free TOM? Florence was pegged as as both rain maker and flood hazard. Nothing new.
