I'm in the central piedmont/foothills region of NC now so this storm looks like it will pass more or less directly over us after making landfall. Not nearly as bad as being on the coast but depending on the size and speed of the storm (like Hugo, Bertha and Fran in past years) it will still drop a lot of rain and can still have a good bit of force when it gets to us.
We're about 90 miles north of Charlotte in the Triad, and the local forecasts are calling for Hanna to continue to be a Category 1 (winds up to 85 mph and 5-6" of rain) as she passes through here late Friday night/early Saturday morning. It's hard to imagine that much of a storm on it's way considering how nice the weather's been all this week, but we're in good shape in terms of supplies.
