Hurricane Joquin, Any East Coasters in peril for flooding? Options

[turk22]

I know we have a lot of members up and down the East Coast, looks like lots of heavy rain from the Carolina's to Boston...

Anybody worried about flooding or power outages this weekend?

Hope everybody is well and safe till the storm passes!

Calling for 8+" tomorrow where I am....(Columbia area)

Combination of things happening at the same time.
We are already saturated, very high tideas7, more rain coming . That hurricane will not directly hit us but the way the fronts are now moisture is being sucked north across the south east, could get over a foot. With out that, in Charleston SC yesterday my daughter walked thru 2 foot deep water at one intersection walk to school (College of Charleston) they are at or below sea level, due to wide spread low level flooding school was cancelled today, it was worse today than yesterday. That is in the area of the oldest part of town, so they kind of expect it will happen a couple times a year. It will be bad if we get that heavy rain.
Now here in Bluffton , Beaufort not as bad except the lowest areas. My homes on a tidal creek about 20 ft above sea level. We could get 2 ft of rain and it won't flood the house, but if we had even just a category 1-2 storm it would be a 10-15ft rise in the tide, that would be trouble,80% of the county would be under water. Like Sandy a few years ago hitting N.J. in that case all my cars would be under water. But of course if that were the forecast we would be tacking all that inland to higher ground. . So at this time no worries here.
