    It now appears the storm is going to stall for about 3 days over land, just dumping up to 24 inches in some locations. Substantial wind up to 35 MPH with higher gusts. There is a large high that will keep the storm from moving up the coast and in a stationary position. I'm in MD, and now all they are saying is a few inches of rain, and some mild wind.

    Exact same sort of experience with American Airlines after I missed an international flight. Online quoted me $2500 extra to get me there. Spoke to them and they fixed it for me with a $200 no show penalty total extra charge. (and I got a seat upgrade like you as well)

    After trying Delta, United, Virgin and American on the SYD>LAX route, and Qantas to China all in the last 2 years, I'm surprised to say that AA was stand out as the most organized at airports, tightest gate security, best gate locations, newest aircraft, nicest food and staff and after my experience with the missed flight, ground staff are awesome too.

    People had told to avoid them in past. They will be my first choice next time.

    just an old fashioned lingering rain storm the type of which your mother would tell you do not go outside without your rubbers. you better not ruin your new school shoes and stay out of the puddles. instead, people are packing up 90% of their belongings and fleeing for the hills with nowhere to stay within 300 miles.

    If you’re in a flood area then I’d definitely get out. Other than the coastal towns, everyone else will have to worry about power outages at the worst. As long as you don’t see Trump in your town tossing out paper towels then you should be fine.

    Im in Panama City Beach FL for the month, glad that bullshit is staying in the Atlantic. Sunny and warm here bitches!

    Not sure about all that Jibbs. I've been watching the media and they have been telling me this could be the worst hurricane EVER.

    It's so bad that people have already started dying and Trump hasn't done enough to save everyone.

    I'm pretty sure from watching all this coverage that Trump is actually colluding with Florence as we speak and they are conferencing in Putin for what to do next.

    And what a coincidence. You can't go pro either? You also couldn't pay up front a ticket to get your ass kicked in Vegas. I told you to buy a ticket and I'd refund your ticket when you got to Vegas, but your ass was too broke to even honor the challenge. What a sad fukk. 2 broke dikk mutherfukkers, living in mommas basement together. How lovely. Do you need a payday loan??? Do you need help going pro? I'll front you if you promise to pay it back. Something tells me you can't even come up with the pennies. Maybe you should be selling crack to eke out a living.

    I'm with ya Scottie2005. Presently I'm right in the path Hampstead, NC (20 miles north of Wilmington). All the business's closed at noon today. I'll be riding it out. Have 30 gallons of gas for the generator, plenty of food and water and everything secured. Will try to post some local pics after the storm. The storm won't keep us isolated very long but the flooding will have lasting effects. Predictions are that the storm will stall and we could get 25-40 inches of rain. I remember hurricane Floyd 1999 had devastating flooding after heavy rains.

    Manny can’t even go pro let alone afford a Fuking ticket to Vegas. It became very evident when he wouldn’t turn on his PMs nor buy a ticket up front that he was jerking my chain. Fighting a 135 lb kid living in his moms garage isn’t very satisfying as well. I have a kid in grade school weighs more than Manny.

    poor Crackles will unfortunately never recover from the stains of all the porky pies he has told in recent years Jaker

    his wordy small time posts screaming out for someone to please believe in him

    it's true manny is broke and homeless so the PRO shaming is highly unnecessary

    biggest difference between us is nobody feels sorry for manny

    that and 375 lbs. of asscrack4life

    I bet there is some good fishing at the end of that pier.

    Probably have to deal with a lot of "fake nibbles" though.
