Hilton Head and Ophelia

We will be leaving for Hilton Head on Friday so I decided to check on the status of Hurricane Ophelia to see if she will effect us. It looks like the storm won't be an issue except, possibly, for making a rainy drive on Friday.

Here is part of the National Weather Service report:

HURRICANE OPHELIA INTERMEDIATE ADVISORY NUMBER 24A
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
8 AM EDT MON SEP 12 2005

...OPHELIA NEARLY STATIONARY...
...OUTER RAINBANDS VERY NEAR THE COAST OF THE CAROLINAS...

A TROPICAL STORM WARNING AND A HURRICANE WATCH ARE IN EFFECT FOR
THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES FROM NORTH OF EDISTO BEACH
SOUTH CAROLINA NORTHEASTWARD TO CAPE LOOKOUT NORTH CAROLINA.

Here is a map showing Edisto beach to the Northeast and Hilton Head to the Southwest:
