Virginia Officials Want Hurricane Earl on Residents' Radarshttp://www.myfoxdc.com/dpp/weather/virg ... ars-083010RICHMOND, Va. - State emergency officials on Monday urged residents along the coast to prepare for Hurricane Earl, which is expected to remain a strong storm as it approaches Virginia later this week.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Earl, a Category 4 storm that formed Sunday, was already a major hurricane with sustained winds of 120 mph. Officials said it is expected to be a Category 3 or 4 storm when it nears Virginia on Thursday or Friday.
...
Incase the worst happens, have the following items on hand: Bottled Water Non-perishable foods First Aid Kit Rain Gear Cooking Supplies (ie grill, paper plates, etc.) Generator Extra Gas Tarps, plywood, nails, etc. for repair jobs. Hope everyone stays safe, and Earl is a non-event.

Don't forget the defensive carbine. I doubt it does much.

Obama doesn't want to be late in handling this hurricane, so he has just declared the entire east coast a disaster area, and during the state of emergency, all guns will be picked up by the police.
Never initiate force against another. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.KYFHO

the only thing that Earl will do is drive up Walmart profits.
of course its always a good opportunity to test your bug out procedures...

I rode down to Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills for the first time since moving here. I really liked it down there, it would be a shame to see it get torn up.
Coming from Florida, though, I'm a veteran of Hurricanes. I've been through Charley, Frances, Jean, Dennis, Wilma, and many Tropical Storms.

So I was joking in my post, but apparently not joking enough. The North Carolina governor has indeed declared a state of emergency. http://www.starnewsonline.com/article/2 ... /100909973Never initiate force against another.
