They are moving the event into a Supply Depot, and will just lower it if the hurricane causes any problems. Terran supply depot counters hurricane, nerf  Nice work, sirs! On a serious note, after losing my job today (thus no work Friday to tire me out) and having not much to do over the weekend, I shall be hoping everything is ok as I will be watching on the streams. | ||

Unless you are surrounded by a forest or near a low shoreline, up to cat 3 is hurricane party time. once it goes higher, then yea don't do any of that. Raleigh should be fine. It better fucking be. I'm pretty sure you've only 'played' when a cat 3 was near you as even the best ultimate players couldn't throw a frisbee in 115+ mph winds and a soccer ball would literally become a missile capable of killing someone. There is a major difference between having a hurricane move over your area and being in the narrow range around the eyewall that gets the true wind force the storm is rated at. I lived in Florida for 35 years and have been through several hurricanes, including cat 2/3's eye's passing over me. Near misses or being well off the center of the eye can be fun but you shouldn't joke around if you're getting a direct hit from even a one. That said, Raleigh is way too far inland to get a hard hit. While the weather models aren't perfect they almost always stay within the forcasted 3 day cone and that puts Raleigh well out of the direct hit range. Flooding and light power outages would be the only real worries but giving the direction and speed of the hurricane I'd guess the chances of a major impact from either one of those is still small. If it was me, I wouldn't think twice about going unless I had to drive up the east coast to get there. If that's the case you should leave early and be prepared to possibly wait an extra day or two before returning back or plan a more westerly route. | ||

I've seen hurricanes do some weird path changes, if you're anywhere in NC or north of NC keep up with the weather updates through this weekend. | ||

Today the forecasts are saying Irene will be moving closer inland and Wilson will be hit by +58mph winds and will hit Raleigh with +30mph winds. I've seen hurricanes do some weird path changes, if you're anywhere in NC or north of NC keep up with the weather updates through this weekend. 30mph winds aren't that bad. They can do damage to trees and such but it's nothing life threatening. I have a flight from NJ to California on Sunday at 8AM EST. Hopefully I can make it out. | ||

I live in Gulf shores, would go to a friends house near mobile for hurricanes, and you are wrong about what I "played" in(not sure why it's in quotations?). Youre right about one thing, we would play frisbee as a "joke" game and see how hard it was to catch. We would play soccer to see from how far away we could score. | ||
