Its a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation ...
Some of you already alluded to it.

It's what happens when our society lives & breathes & dies by that media-hysteria
driven freight train that thinks every affliction known to man can be addressed w/ a massive bureaucratic response .... :)

And the response is usually "too little", "too late", or "too wrong".

You might be getting worked up over nothing.

I have yet to see anyone go apesh!t over the forced evacuation, yet you all are conjecturing a negative spin, then getting frothed in some righteous rage over it.

Why don't we see how it goes before the fist-shaking irritation starts?:icon_wink

Can't speak for where/when the whiting birds are, but when I stopped for gas in Ft. Smith AR last night on my way back from Boston, it was mobbed with Navy T-6s and SNFOs.

When I and the other pilot walked into the FBO discussing coming up with a flight plan to get back to NQI from FSM we saw an AF SNFO sitting on the couch looking like someone had shot his dog. I pointed at him and jokingly said "HE CAN DO OUR FLIGHT PLAN".

I thought the AF Weenie was about to shit himself and he was looking for the shortest escape route from the 2 LTs who had just walked in.

It's pretty mean to pick on a dude with about 10 hours of flying (total), but damn, that is funny.

Looks like you P'cola/Whiting guys aren't totally out of the woods yet, Hanna just became a Cat I. Looks a bit east at the moment, but it will be interesting to see what effect (if any) a dissipating low (Gustav) over the TN river valley has on it's track. There is also a strong disturbance west of the Cape Verde islands which looks like it might become something....

Edit: I guess JAX is probably first in line for this one...

I'd be more worried about Beaufort MCAS, Parris Island and more so Hunter AAF (home of the 160th SOAR).

Hozer, I like how someone photochopped in Fox News on that picutre... here's the original video:
