Hurricane Florence - September 2018

[CARIIS]

Given the conditions and emergency response required, it seems extremely unlikely a football game between the Knights and Tar Heels would be played in Chapel Hill, N.C. UNC officials said they were in touch with UCF and had not yet decided how to handle sporting events scheduled this week on campus.

For now, both teams are preparing as though a game will be played, although some UCF fans have posted on social media they are already canceling hotel reservations to free up spots for local North Carolina residents who may need shelter due to the storm.

Hurricane Florence: UCF, UNC officials monitor storm, undecided on game status

Just a guess

i kinda think if ya book and then change your mind you might be able to get them to refund it even if the rules say no

" I understand and was told that, but really you're telling me you wont be able to get the room occupied now? It's just a decent thing to do - we all have enough going on right now"

Thanks JerseyGirl!

Storm preparation has replaced beach trip preparation!

The Ventusky projection now seems to be showing Florence close to shore on 13th, just off shore on 14th, pushed slightly back out to sea on 15th and making landfall on 16th/17th.
