We have to think positively, collectively .... it is going to miss SC by 800 miles.
It sure is nice here in L.A. the his morning though.

The newest tracks are looking better and better. Rain event with some gusty winds, but nothing catastrophic.

I'd say it's now quite favorable for us South Carolinians

I was wondering how Angel Oak fared. The battery was completely under water.
I ended up losing several trees in the backyard, the wooden fence around my backyard, the carport and the electricity went out a little after noon and didn't come back on until almost 4 this morning.

Edisto got tagged again, unfortunately
EDISTO BEACH — Waves started crashing over the sand dunes and spilling into Palmetto Boulevard about 10 a.m. Monday, two hours before high tide.
A violent current pushed concrete parking dividers into the street and carved streams on the roadside. Before noon, cars and an orange shipping container stashed in a Bi-Lo parking lot were floating. Storm surge inundated the S.C. Highway 174 causeway, for a time cutting off residents who decided to ride out Tropical Storm Irma.
Town authorities estimated that up to 6 feet of ocean water had submerged a portion of the town closest to the beach.
But to the north, more water seeped in from the Wadmalaw River and surrounding marshland.
“We’re a little island with a palm tree sticking up,” Mayor Jane Darby said. “We’re surrounded by water. … We’ve lost the definition of streets.”
This Colleton County community was assailed Monday with wind and water from all sides, flooding it for the third time in two years. Parts of the town were submerged in an October 2015 rainstorm that washed over much of South Carolina and again less than a year ago in Hurricane Matthew.
It has been a trying few years for Edisto Beach, a popular tourist spot of 400 residents. It had survived rabid surf and erosion from a handful of tropical cyclones since Hurricane David blew through in 1979.
“It was thrilling for a little while,” Darby said of past storms. “We had big waves. But since 2015, it’s been one thing right after another.”
Most people heeded mandatory evacuation orders. But residents in about 40 homes stayed put.
Some regretted it. A family of four was among them. They were renting a home, the mayor said, when they saw the worsening conditions, grew anxious and decided to leave.
It was too late.

So they died?

We were in the NE quadrant CG ... we got nailed over this way too. I had to come home early from Vegas because AA warned us we may get delayed otherwise. We got home just before it hit and one of the spiral arms of the storm moved over us for about three hours. Lost part of the roof on the guest house and a bunch of trees. Was without power for 14 hrs. Trees across the roads everywhere. Twenty miles west towards Columbia they got a little rain and wind but nothing like we got over here towards Augusta. I called the club this morning and they took some tree damage, and then over towards Edgefield and Johnston they had some bad winds and heavy rain ... but back over towards Ridge Spring and Monetta they hardly got anything but Batesburg-Leesville got hammered and was without power for eight hours downtown.
It all just depended on if you got caught under one of those spiral arms or not.
Sure was a massive storm though that the center of it passed over Atlanta and at the same time it was pounding us way over here to the east.
