If I didn't have kids I'd be gone for sure! My youngest is in 6th grade and I'm 42....counting down till college. I'm out of hear! Western NC/TN/VA area has always appealed to me. Ready for a change and cooler weather. Early, live cheap retirement hear I come just need to convince the wife.

I feel your concern I'm less than .25 mile from the ocean in AB so I'm screwed also if it gets close. I have several century old live oaks around my house that would likely end up down on my house. We had to evacuate last year but luckily only had 80 mpd wind and didn't sustain any major damage.

My buddy has a rental house in key west.
10 yrs ago when we discussed it, he was paying $ 10,000/yr in premiums for hurricane
His deductible is 25%. His out of pocket not covered by insurance would be $100,000+ likely.
And, his downstairs is enclosed for more living area. Not legal anymore, but his property is grandfathered. He wouldnt be able to rebuild that at all. Thats where he stays when he goes to work on property improvements, etc.
last report I saw today shows it heading more nw and probably ended up around NC or Virginia sometime after next weekend if it makes landfall.
I am all set to do my New York SoBo section on September 8. I don't know what to do... I can postpone and start on September 14 but beyond that, I don't know when I can do it... I've been looking forward to this section for a year!!!
Do I go on the 8th and hope that the storms doesn't hit us or do I wait and start on the 14th and hope that it passes up New York within the week?

I've been caught out on the trial in the remnants of a couple of hurricanes in New England. Typically heavy rain for 12 to 24 hours and it's gone. What's left of Harvey hasn't gotten here yet, but not much left of it anyway. If Irma skips up the coast, that might be a different story.

I start the approach trail Sep 8th and will be on the AT for 10 days! I hope it stays away.
Hay goof luck. It looks good !
Lots of variables in play to concern ourselves for now.
If it does swing up the coast the track won't be determined until Friday at the earliest.
Getting lost is a way to find yourself.
