Breaking News: Ophelia Off Carolinas' Coast

It seems that the new hurricane Ophelia is again just standing in place, this time off the coast of the Carolinas. If you believe what you hear on that late night radio program "Coast to Coast with George Noory" where Friday a so called psychic - when the hurricane was still off the coast of Florida - said she was seeing it hit South Carolina.
Now according to the Associated Press:

ATLANTIC BEACH, N.C. (AP) — More of the exposed Outer Banks chain of island was ordered evacuated Tuesday as Tropical Storm Ophelia drifted closer to the coast of the Carolinas with pounding surf and a threat of heavy rain.

Rain was scattered along the coast as Ophelia bobbed and weaved slowly to the north-northwest, with its top sustained wind staying at about 70 mph through the morning.

...
With many people on edge because of Hurricane Katrina, all residents and visitors were ordered to evacuate Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks on Tuesday, visitors already had been ordered off Ocracoke Island and 300 National Guard troops were on duty. The National Park Service closed the Cape Hatteras lighthouse and the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills.

Now we will see just how accurate she is. Of course I could have made that prediction to by looking at the map on Friday and the predicted track of the storm, that doesn't make me a psychic.

and that's the way I see it! and now for your thoughts...
