Stay safe, battery power up everything and maybe get some puzzles or crosswords ... read a book.

getting into the right book can make hours fly by.

keep us posted

I'm in a 1st floor apartment. I'm not too close to any shores. There are a bunch of marshes around. But I haven't been thru this before, so I'm not really sure with how the whole thing works. I think I will be OK from flooding. Moreso heavy rain and wind is what I'm expecting. Already getting some pretty good wind right now off and on. I think the power going out is likely my biggest concern. I got quite a few books I need to read. So I'm good on that front if it does go out. Glad I work from home. Going to go to the grocery store in about an hour, then I will be hunkered down for the next 48 hours.

Aww snap .. this is your first real east coast storm.

We freak out.

The stores are already barren and run through.

Go now man, hit up several stores, sometimes a home depot might be the place to get water/gatoraide. or a Dicks sporting goods. the non traditional stores.

id fill a few buckets of water now so you can flush the toilet if water goes out.

----

but then again .. its a tropical storm now so you should be good.

but .. general rule .. we freak out and over react to any storms around here

Luckily, my roommate just happened to order a case of alkaline water, nothing to do with the storm, so we have water for drinking for at least a few days if it gets that bad.

Surprisingly, I do already own a big bucket too.

In MtP you should be good from flooding and tropical storm is business as usual for the low country. There will be some flooding at street level. I am assuming you are west of 17? If so you should be fine. I'd definitely get some water asap though

My directional skills are still severely lacking here. I would have to cross over the 17 from my apartment to get to Isle of Palms.
