How am I a troll?
I've lived in Florida my entire life.
Anything under Cat 3 is a JOKE.
Keep posting wikipedia articles of some damage being done on scattered Cat 2's, but stop acting like it's a damn Cat 4.

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. It proves still, that category 2 is something that should not be taken lightly. It can be very serious threat. I dont even understand why i need to teach this kind of stuff to people. People are really fucking stupid, im sorry but this seems to be the case. Every fucking time i need to teach people even the simpliest things. This guy says it exactly how i feel. A category 2 hurricane has winds around 100 mph. 100 mph winds are very dangerous and are a big threat. Whoever is saying that a category 2 hurricane isn't a big deal, is going to get themselves killed. By no means do I think that this is the end of the world, but I think a great amount of caution should be taken and because it's such an early stage in the hurricane it could intensify even more or it could actually just dwindle out and never even touch land. But seriously guys for the sake of your lives, don't say that 100mph winds are nothing lol. Compared to where he's from it's perfectly reasonable..Being that far inland, too....I mean really. Just don't get all pissy because someone is giving perfectly reasonable explanations. He's NOT the only one that thinks that way. Many people stay in town in New Orleans duing the lower tier hurricanes. I don't know about playing in them, but sure.
I absolutely understand what you're trying to say. My apologies if I came off rude and pissy, that was not my intention and was truly on accident. I definitely think that yes it's not that big of a deal, but it's definitely nothing to take too lightly.

If you look at the picture linked above, Raleigh is roughly just right and in the middle of the "I" in "WILMINGTON". So I don't know if Raleigh is too far inland like people are saying. It's right on the border between High and Med threat level.

idk if the hurricane will fully hit MLG but defiantly give us some wind and rain hope to god power doesn't go out as I'm driving out there.

Yes, you shouldn't walk around the junkyard filled with light pieces of sharp metal. Yes, you shouldn't go swim 100 yards out in the ocean. But to think that you need to board up, get dozens of gallons of gas + a generator ready, and get enough food to last you a week for a fucking Cat 2 is a joke.
I've been through many, many hurricanes in my lifetime and for EVERY SINGLE Cat 1 or Cat 2 I have never boarded up anything and I've NEVER had a problem EVER. Neither has anyone I known, for that fact. I've taken my dog for a fucking walk during a Cat 1 once.
Yes, you shouldn't take it as a rainshower on a sunny Summer afternoon. That's a granted for ANY 'major' storm. However, you are treating this as if it's a damn Cat 4, as I said earlier.
I hate when Europeans talk about Hurricane like they know. You are not qualified to give advice unless you got a degree in the subject or have experienced it personally. Cat 1 is literally a rainshower and a Cat 2 is "Oh something might happen if I'm drunk and stupid or I live on the edge of a giant muddy hill"

Wow, Last night I had a dream that I was almost to MLG but then there was a tornado and I had to turn around because it got cancelled or something. Creepy.

Hey chill lol. No need to get upset. We're talking about people traveling to a place that they've probably never been to and they won't have the resources available to them like someone that lives there permanently. It's completely different than someone who lives in NC.

The European who has never experienced a Hurricane is lecturing the person who has lived through Hurricane Andrew about Hurricanes.
I can't be laughing any harder right now.

I am not upset.
I am telling someone who is spreading misinformation to stop spreading his misinformation.

Pretty much, the fact a storm is coming should be enough warning. Don't make assumptions. Just because it was cat 2 not too long ago doesn't mean it cannot get worse. -_-
Just prepare for the worst case scenario. It's going to be one hell of a bumpy ride.
