...and lived in South Carolina briefly after college.

WTF is this "South of the Border" I keep seeing mentioned on DU today?

I Googled it, went to the site and it STILL doesn't ring a bell.

Of course, when I vacation, I don't go to SC anymore, but... still. One would think I would have heard of this place.

The billboards are impossible to miss as you travel I-95.

between Raleigh and Savannah, Georgia - you will see signs for that hole every few miles..
it is somewhere between the 6th and 7th circles of Hell

just south of the NC line. There is a wiggle in the highway there because a corrupt businessman lobbied to have it run over land he owned.
They sell crap that would supposedly be found in Mexico south of that border. Tacky is kind.
The signs leading to SOOB are fun. That's about it.

South of The Border is cheesey and fun!

We had a good time there. Food was pretty good too.

She was 3.

Tackiest place on earth, and I say that with mild affection.

If you are driving from NY or thereabouts to Florida, you actually find yourself looking forward to it, because it's SOMETHING of interest on I-95.

Stay safe, Grits!

It was a kooky kind of relief from the nothingness of I95.

The situation is extremely fluid.

Caswell (north of Burlington, NC against the VA line) went under high wind advisory. I had to take the washing off the line the wind was so high. The sheets were wrapped all the way around the line. So much for solar drying today.

The rain is sideways and there's a bit of thunder.

Jack, our rescue dog, is on my lap chilling after receiving his first dose of rescue remedy! Abby is at my side, unconcerned. She's partially deaf, but even she heard the warning beep on TWC.

My area just went under tornado watch.

are popping up all over. These include tornadoes and thunderstorms. It's hard to keep up.

Y'all stay safe. Let's be careful out there.

Gotta love @WIS10 ... "there may be a tornado, somewhere, on the ground ... someplace." Sheesh. They're as dumb as their viewers.

That about sums a lot of things up.

hoping you are safe and well

but it's not over. There are still a lot of watches and warnings out. There is also stuff developing behind us that's coming.

I'm never all that worried for myself, but I become scared to death for my family and my little one (my cat) when these things are afoot (I'm also lucky to have lived in places that don't see much of this sort of weather).

I get on pretty heightened alert during dangerous weather...

Hope it continues to be safe in your particular neck of the woods.

Tell your Republican friends this is what they get for letting Newt Gingrich win the primary.

On a slightly more serious note, stay safe, Palmetto Staters.
