For anybody out on the Mid-Atlantic coast, and even well inland from there, please heed all warnings and get you to safety. For anyone who might live on the Outer Banks near Cape Fear or Cape Hatteras, for heaven's sake get inland, now. Go north or south, a good ways. Look at the maps.
This thing is projected to have a 20-foot storm surge wash over the coastal areas. Storm surges of this kind are much like tsunamis, and will take out everything in their path.
And, inland, you folks near the eastern side of the Appalachians are in serious peril, too. There will be massive amounts of rain. I've seen estimates as high as 20 inches for some places. Those valleys will fill up with flash flooding that is as bad as the coastal storm surge.
