Anyone going next week and worried about Hannah?
Just wondering if anyone was traveling next week and worried about Hannah? We leave on Saturday and hope our week isn't rained out. I especially hope we'll be able to fly from NY.
Any mutual concerns?

We leave Tues, I am watching both Hannah and Ike! Flying from MI, hoping for the best. We are attending MNSSHP on 9-12, really hoping for the rain to stay away!

Leaving Sept 10

I'm watching Hannah, but I'm not worried about her. Ike is starting to bother me some though. We're leaving Saturday to drive down, but I don't think that Hannah is going to be a problem for us.

No matter what, you'll be at Disney. So what if it is rainy and windy for a while. It will still be fun.
Your attention please, the Walt Disney World Railroad is now boarding for a trip around the Magic Kingdom

Check the weather thread for details, but you really don't have anything to worry about from Hannah. Ike might be a different story. The only issues Hannah might cause, especially if you're coming from the NE, would be some flight delays due to heavy rains, but even those should be fairly minor.

Not worried about Hannah, I think that Ike might be the problem child. I guess we have to wait until Thursday or Friday to see what path Ike will be taking.

We start our trip tomorrow, 9-3, and fly back on 9-12. We've been watching and checking in on Strmchsr's updates. At this point our main concern with Hanna is the possibility of drenching rains. Haven't checked in on Ike lately, but it sounds like we may be on our way back before he comes around. We'll keep checking in though.

I'm not worried about Hannah, but Ike is somewhat concerning. I hope that we are there and back before there's any problems. That's why I keep watching the NWS website and Chris' updates here to make sure we keep updated. Everyone's fingers are crossed!!

I wasn't worried about Hanna till today. They said she's suppose to make landfall friday near Savannah - Charleston area. We are driving down friday to stop in Hardeeville which is like 30 mins from there. So I'm a little worried about driving into the wind and rain. We aren't leaving till about 4:30 in the afternoon but I don't know what time they are saying she will make landfall.

That could definitely be a problem as Hannah's bands will start moving in late Thursday night and if you're having to drive along the coast the wind/rain could be very dangerous. While intensity forecasts are not very accurate, right now the prog is for Cat 2 at landfall and you DON'T want to be driving in that. Not to mention storm surge/flooding etc. If you possibly can I would recommend trying to get to Atlanta or somewhere out of the path on Thursday because driving on Friday may not be an option.

You'll be fine and your trip shouldn't be too wet. Just normal scattered thunderstorms. The only thing that could delay your flight is if you have a layover along the east coast (NYC, Charlotte, etc.) As long as that is not the case I wouldn't expect any issues.

Just keep an eye on the weather channel and the radar at the NWS website as you get toward departure time. If it looks like the bands of rain will affect your driving down the coast on Friday and Saturday, just reroute from Columbia through Augusta and go over to Macon and pick up I-75 south. That should be far enough inland to keep you out of the worst of the rain and wind.
You may want to go ahead and make a reservation if you are going to spend the night in Middle Georgia, because if Hanna does make landfall around Brunswick or Savannah, there may be a lot of evacuees heading up I-16 to Macon and surrounding towns.

Thanks everyone we have made some changes. We are now going to leave work at 12 and go towards Greenville SC to Liberty to pick up our nephew then go by way of Atlanta. So we will be leaving from Liberty around 2:30 I have no clue where we will stop now. I've never drove that way. The way yahoo maps is sending us is
I 85 to I 285 to I 675 to I 75 then to florida turnpike to I 4

Glad you're making it out early. Yeah, those directions are right. 285 will keep you from going through downtown Atlanta and even though you could stay on 285 all the way to 75 S, taking 675 will cut some more time off for you.

This storm path has definitely put a twist in our travel plans for Sat. We live in western SC and normally take I-26E to I-95S down the coastline. According to the projected path and time lapse of Hanna, we would be traveling directly into the brunt of the storm.
We do have the advantage of an alternate route, though, that will only make a difference of about 45 min. for our nine hour drive. If we cut through Atlanta, GA and head south on I-75, we should be able to avoid just about the entire system and it would keep us from having to delay our departure from home. We've never been this way before, so it should be an adventure in and of itself. We will probably take this route regardless and figure that we will make up the extra time by not having to slow down or even detour due to the storm.
Anyway, keep us and everyone else out there in your prayers for a safe trip.
I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

Yeah, I see that the I-75 route is new to you as well. With you leaving on Fri., you should have a great head start and probably not hit any inclement weather from Hanna, just typical Sept. weather.
We will be praying for you guys on Friday to have a safe and happy trip!
BTW, we will be at the MNSSHP on the 9th, so if you're going to be there, maybe we can meet up. It's just DW and I. You can PM me if you like.
Hopefully see you there!
