Yep i've been doing the same. Making preparations for this up coming storm.
only thing is i've already booked my vacation for a beach house down in nags head at the 4X4 Beach in Carova. Im really looking forward to going in November so I hope the house and that area are ok after the hurricane that would really suck if stuff down there got destroyed. Then that means no Vacation.

I worked on the Jeep for about 24 hours straight and got a week's worth of work done to get it back together.
I stacked all my lawn furniture in the corner of my patio and left the Weber where it sits. If it moves I will put it somewhere else but as the storm gets closer I find myself worrying less as it hasn't increased in intensity and it looks like it is gonna stay east of us - unless the Cape Fear sucks it in like it often does.
I think it will pass us out by the gulf stream so it shouldn't be an issue.

Heard that UNCW was evacuated. I've got family out at Atlantic Beach that are coming in today. Also, my buddy is up in Ocean City, MD and they got evacuated and had to be out by 12 last night.
Everyone be safe and I hope this thing doesn't tear down too much.

Be safe everyone.. Im also all prepped, just picked up a 6500 watt generator last week thank god, all the cars and boats all fueled up just incase we need to ciphon some gas for the generator. Checked and cleaned the gutters, my basement is all prepped, got my pumps where the water usually gathers up.. trying to stay ahead of the game.. Luckily my stove is gas, so i can still cook. be safe everyone... Iw ill be video taping for sure.. maybe we can get some other people to video tape and post it up after the aftermath... god bless and be safe..
