Almost 25% of the island appears to be without power. There's about 15K that live there and outages are already over 3200.

What is the anticipated landfall time at this point?

No, offense not taken - it's a trip for our 10th wedding anniversary and we are scheduled to stay at Sea Island so it's a pretty special trip for us that we've been planning for a year, so we're trying to figure out what to do, but are leaning towards cancelling. Unfortunately rescheduling this year isn't an option for us as my in-laws are the only ones that can watch our kids and this was the only time they could do so for an extended period so it's either wait and see or cancel. The resort has basically said they're planning on operating but I feel like that's a pretty optimistic outlook based on what Irma did to the island in 2017.

Long time reader, first time poster. How quickly do we think this storm will weaken once it makes landfall? My wife and I are scheduled to travel to the Georgia coast on Thursday but obviously don't want to do that if it looks like the storm will have done major damage to that area after it tracks through on Wednesday afternoon into the evening. Our hotel has told us we are welcome to wait and see or they will go ahead and cancel and refund us so we are not concerned about that. Having grown up on the Georgia coast and evacuated for some near misses, I certainly don't want to be heading down on Thursday into a disaster zone as a tourist, but I'm not sure if the wait and see approach is the best idea or if we should go ahead and cancel.
