Re: Ophelia Crawls Toward the Carolinas

Here in the Wilmington/Kure Beach area we have had the beginnings of the rain bands coming in. The webcam at Kure Beach is saying the max winds today was 50 mph, they are steady at about 20 mph. We have had .15 inches of rain in the last hour. Our county has called for mandatory evac of the islands and low lying areas. The only mandatory evac is for UNCW students. We actually have some students from Tulane that I am sure are thinking they made a bad choice in coming here.
