Let us know how they're doing.

is staying too.
My husband has been trying for days to get him to leave to no avail. We are very worried.

Old age and physical infirmity can take that decision out of a person's hands. Yeah, you're going to worry a lot. Hang in there. Get a texting/emailing schedule set up with your cousin, every three or six hours or so. Good luck, even if it does get stretched.

That way, once the power is out, they don't have us all calling and they can limit the time they will be on their cell phone. Hopefully the winds won't take down the cell towers.

Their son is a police officer, and he's already on patrol. So now he has his job to do, and his parents to worry about. I'm afraid to ask if he evacuated his family.

Having a plan like that in place is a comfort. Here's hoping for good news as the weekend unfolds.

should be fine. Some rain and flooding, but not like north at Myrtle and Wilmington.

Friends in Charleston staying too.

however, structures have to withstand a long duration wind event.

The next bit of good news is that Summerville is at 89 feet above sea level... we shall all hope that this is enough to be above the storm surge and rain flooding.

I hope your cousin is on a hill there.

Best wishes to them... but they should have evacuated.
