Still worthwhile taking precautions, but no need to panic.

Hurricane Hugo marched inland 235 miles to hit Charlotte NC with 80 mile per hour SUSTAINED winds. We’re 45 miles from the coast.

Granted, the weather service always goes on the high side for wind gusts, and we have been lucky that they have not been as strong. Plan for the worst, hope for the best.
