Just in:
Tropical Depression Fifteen forms off the Bermuda coast, early predicted path points toward the Carolinas.
Though it's really too soon to know the exact dangers from this storm, I think the earliest heads up possible will help us prepare in the target zones.
Are we ready?
Where are the shelters in your area? What are the evacuation routes? Gas up your vehicles, gather food/water/equipment together for yourselves, and prepare to help the less fortunate evacuate out of the path by offering them rides to the nearest safe shelter. Start your planning now (as if that even needs to be said).
