Isabel is getting more serious. Aren't you in one of the Carolinas? How is it going over there?

Yep, sitting tight near Charlotte. Next Wednesday is a long way off --
My son is at Yorktown, VA for the next two weeks(Coast Guard) - he says the rain from Heri is has heavy and they are predicting Isabel will get them as well.
My wife is scared half to death - our house (we bought last year) is surrounded by 40-60 foot high trees (oaks, hickorys and sweet gums), some hang over the house. I tell her not to worry - the trees survived Hugo, two foot snows and multible ice storms.
Texans will be getting the next storm

That's what I figured...Our weather people have a hard time "letting go" even though it is so rare that we actually get hit by hurricane that I think it was int he 60's that we did...and it came across the state I think. They like to predict it may hit until the thing is somewhere around Maine. Of course, this one they have been awfully quiet about, which leaves me a little nervous. So many people evacuated when Floyd was supposed to hit that I don't know that most of us would again. It was a huge pain in the behind for a storm that amounted to nothing. Of course, we went through Homestead about a year after Andrew hit and it was devastating, my cousin who lived in Miami at the time said she went to work that day with the news people saying it was going to hit further north and went she came out of work, people were boarding up their windows, buying water, etc, and leaving.
Of course, it's still a ways off, but my son is already planning the days he wants to go surf next week...And my husband is praying we'll get a LOT of rain and tide changes from it anyway, so the shrimp will either pick up or disappear...Depending on the weather for your living makes you slightly demented apparently.
