Why do we even have this lever*?

Which translates to, officially, as more hurricane than you can fight. Florence is a very high Category 2, so this is no time to play chicken with the weather if you live in North Carolina. Stay smart, and stay alive.
Probably not necessary.
Hurricanes should not have pleasant normal names like "Florence". They should be named after Assyrian kings
Hurricane Sennacherib
Hurricane Shalmaneser

But I married into a belt-and-suspenders-style family, and so it behooves me to respect that when they say Time to get some supplies now, just in case. The projected track is still well south of us, we’re not in even a 500 year flood zone, and we probably won’t even lose power. Still, better to do it and not need it than to not do it and need to, hey?
Stay safe, folks.
I should be OK, but it’s going to rain like nobody’s business. If you live in the Carolinas, you’re probably not reading this, because you’re already getting ready. And if you’re not, you should be. Florence is Category 4 at this point.
Needless to say: stay safe if you’re in the track for this one. And even if you’re not.
