There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Hurricane Florence!

I don't mean to take a haunting tone, but my area (Blacksburg, VA) and both Carolinas are at extreme risk for being severely flooded from Hurricane Florence. Due to its speeds, it is making its way towards the US's mid-Atlantic east coast at a dastardly estimated 140 mph as of its top winds, and that is "only a conservative" speed according to the Washington Post article! Flooding is expected to be anywhere from 15-30 inches depending on area of hit and severity. Furthermore, they are predicting it flooding much deeper into each state (including into Blacksburg, VA) and covering my area up to 10 or 15 inches of water. In fact, my university has already prepared an evacuation plan in case conditions are much worse than expected (Duck Pond Lake is already flooding). This isn't good and I might see classes and other activities canceled if this gets any worse.

I hope this hurricane doesn't significantly impact our local area. 10-15 inches is incredibly intense for normal university functions!
