Looks like Donna Lange is heading into it.


Yes, and as she said in her last report, she could have been sipping
beer in Bermuda. She thought about it but evidently wasn't able to
reach her weather advisor so relied on the Gribs and faxes. Hopefully
all she'll get is a sound thrashing. The North Atlantic near the
stream can be as rough this time of year as anyplace she's been.

41 mi SE of Charleston is showing a good, solid 40 knots for the past
hour.

Navy Tower M2R6 off Savannah is over 51 knot gusts!

Looks worse S of Charleston than N of Charleston...
