My former co-workers were forced to move from Las Vegas, where it rarely rains to RTP, NC, which on some models is in the middle of the projected path of Florence.

Be safe EasyEd. Prayers for you and your family's safety. Thanks Badger. Since the outlook here in Charleston SC seems to change every time we get an update, hard to tell if we should stay or go; and, if we go, is there a safe place to go from here. We have lots of family here so we are in good shape. But prayers will, indeed, help.

If you're on the fence, Ed, please get the heck out of there. It's really looking scary for a lot of people. I'm very much hoping that people are heeding the evacuation warnings.

I pray that everyone remains safe. But I wouldn't mind seeing 30 inches of rain fall directly on President Trump.

Maybe this will be the time that prayers do something.

I can't prove it had anything to do with it and so stated. You make a declarative statement with no proof.

it can be explained by known physics. We do not need to insert a supernatural force or miracle to explain the behavior of the storm. Prayers don't do anything because there is no god. Prayers only exist to make people feel better about not doing anything useful.

Well.. that went off the rails quickly. Can we get Lord Physics to make it a light drizzle? Would that please everyone?

Prayers only exist to make people feel better about not doing anything useful. Out of curiosity... based on your physics knowledge, did you know ahead of time that the wind speed was going to drop and therefore be somewhat of a less destructive storm? Based on everything I've seen, this storm is surprising people *all the time.* Not to be snarky, but perhaps a little more humility and respect would be warranted for things that realistically, none of us know for certain. Whether it's weather patterns, the number of wins the Hoyas will have this year, or simply faith in something above and beyond yourself, none of us have the answers to everything.

so if physics can explain it why cant we do anything about it? weve had hurricanes even before america was built why until now we cant do crap about it and prevent it from happening so we all live a life without worry from natural disasters.

We're expanding the tropics, making hurricane storms intensify more rapidly, making hurricane storms larger, making hurricanes bring more rainfall, and raising the sea levels so that flooding will be worse.
