Ernesto storm thread

Greetings from Charleston.

Looks like I'm sitting exactly where Ernesto is expected to hit Thursday, as a CAT-1 storm.

Anyone with me? :)

3. In Mount Pleasant

It is not supposed to be bad but they claim may intensify. I was here during Hugo. It sucked. I was living in North Chuck. Had to climb over the railing of my house on East Montague down from Park Circle...It was quite a mess.

4. We're somewhat higher than you were

and came through Hugo with almost no damage. But 2 blocks down...on Dorchester...it looked like a war zone.

5. I remember...
