Yeah that's worst case in many ways, especially if it's a strong TS or weak hurricane lost at sea near the coast.
Of course, this may be a nothingburger and we're all just b.s.'ing; let's not assume this will be a hurricane at any point, nevermind near NC/SC
I'm suspicious of like 80% of the modeling beyond D4 at this point, but I'd expect a TS or weak 'cane approaching the Carolinas by then.
