If it is storming like it is in Belgium then I pray for an event without problems. Ludicrous how much rain is falling here, in the summer ffs!

I took 2 days off work, so I hope MLG won't be canceled .
I had a good night of sleep.

A category 2 hurricane is a pretty big deal. Best case scenario will mean a shit ton of rain and pretty high sustained winds and gusts of 70+ miles.


Tropical Storm - lol
Category 1 - lol
Category 2 - Put some wood around some big windows if you live in a mountain of small rocks, otherwise just dick about
Category 3 - Shutters up!
Category 4 - Shits going down, expect something to go wrong.
Category 5 - Leave town.

Category 2 is a joke.

Not sure if trolling but anyway, category 2 is certainly not a joke. This is serious stuff.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffir–Simpson_Hurricane_Scale#Category_2

I live in Southern Louisiana (extremely south) and Cat 2 isn't that big of a deal. The only way I can see a Cat 2 lifting a house is if the house is shitty and it is at the worst possible part. For Cat 2 Hurricanes, no one in my area evacuations and a lot of people actually play in the hurricane. The wind is really soothing.

Now of course, depending on the path, it might be a mild thunderstorm, and we'd get unlucky to get the power knocked out, but it is no wreaking havoc matter. Although no electricity would suck for MLG. Candadar is 100% correct though.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Marty_(2003)

100 million dollar damages seems pretty big deal for me

That is one Cat 2 hurricane out of a bunch...and it is in Mexico, so maybe they don't have the best infrastructure. Either way, I'd consider it an extenuating circumstance. Also, it hit a month after another hurricane, so that might have something to do with it.

edit: Holy shit, Raleigh is pretty far inland. It shouldn't be anything.

Wow, that's the craziest path for a hurricane ever. Probably no other hurricane has traveled along and parallel to a land mass for so long, especially when considering this one had a land mass on either side so you basically double the length of one travelling up a normal coast.

The last big hurricane (that I can remember) that actually hit NC hard was Hurricane Floyd. That was a category 4. Raleigh wasn't hit hard at all during that storm. They just had heavy rainfall and some flooding. There was even flloding in Winston-Salem, NC which is around 200ish miles west of Raleigh. Now the Greenville, Rocky Mount areas got extremely fucked up by it. But again, this was a CAT 4.

I'm honestly not too worried about a CAT 2 because Raleigh is damn near in the center of the state. Expect heavy rain fall, that's about it. Nothing too crazy.
I wonder what my APM is while clearing Quasar [A]....

Raleigh is pretty far inland.. it won't be much more then a bad thunderstorm at its worst. I don't think anyone going will have any issues at all. The stream may go down for a bit though unfortunately.

I live in Raleigh, I think the biggest worry is if the thing strengthens to a Cat 4 somehow... that could be bad.

One heads up to everyone though, around the Raleigh area especially near where MLG is we always get a lot of flooding of roads. We have a lot of these river areas near low points in roads and when we get a lot of rains we tend to have a lot of flooding on mostly back roads. I only bring it up so that if we do get a lot of rain and people are driving through those areas take it slow, try not to drive through if you can because people's cars flood all the time when they think they can get through.

It isn't really a big deal, more of a pain then anything but for whatever reason that always happens here and it shuts down random roads.

If you EMP fast enough, you should be able to prevent any storms from hitting.

Those are words of wisdom. Because we are several hours inland it is rare for wind to cause too much trouble (Fran being an exception), but the flooding is what gets people. If you see a puddle do not test its depth by driving into it!

The weather forecast says it will most likely strenghten to a Catergory 4 hurricane by the time it hits the carolinas, this could be very bad for MLG....

Hopefully it doesn't cut out the internet. Who wants LAN anyway?

(Raleigh is just north of that dot)

The track is trending to the east. Raleigh and perhaps the US could avoid a direct hit
