Pretty safe, you'll catch some of the outer rain bands & some moderate wind, the east (dirty) side on the hurricane is what spawns most tornadic activity, we're on the clean side, only thing you really have to worry about is flooding in low lying areas & power outages.

[@KJSvitko]

Climate Change is making weather events more extreme. It is time to wake up and make Climate Action a priority. Individuals, politicians and corporations need to do more to dump fossil fuels and protect the environment. Insurance companies, banks, pension funds, universities and all financial institutions need to divest from fossil fuels. Weather events like this will only get worse if we do not act. Register and VOTE for Climate Leaders.
