Indeed, I believe that Scolai lives in Wilmington, N.C., and that area is one of the most-seriously affected regions regarding Dorian. I hope our forum friend (and everyone in that area) comes through the storm as best as possible.
I live in east-central NC. Wilmington is a bit to my southeast. My son's girlfriend goes to school in Wilmington. For the second year in a row, she was forced to evacuate her dorm and head west.
Thanks for the concern. Fortunately for us, we are far enough inland that the worst of it stayed east of us. My folks, who are on the coast, have some trees down, but the structures are all fine.
