Sustained winds are now at 185 MPH (155 kts) and the ground speed is a
mere 6 kts. It's going to be sitting over Grand Bahama until tomorrow evening.
The damage will probably be worse than Sandy.
Surf and storm surge along the Outer Banks will cause a lot of damage all
the way to Cape Hatteras.
Hope your grandchildren arrive safely.
