Charleston is bracing for a direct hit from Hurricane Ian with storm surges of up to 7ft as it hurtles towards the historic city after barreling through Florida leaving swathes of the state decimated. Monster tempest Ian has recharged from a tropical storm back into a Category 1 hurricane as it angles northwards towards South Carolina, and will hit the coasts of North Carolina and Georgia. Landfall in Charleston is expected around 8am on Friday, with the surrounding states also being issued with several extreme weather warnings.

I'm guessing the Charleston AFB fleet is in Little Rock right now.

I live in Charleston, but not in the downtown area which floods regularly in heavy rain. Our house is elevated and we have a generator which powers the whole downstairs. It’s powered by natural gas which is piped in. Plus we’re several miles inland from the Atlantic. We’ve seen worse and we’ll be fine. Prayers for all of those in flood-prone areas.

What a lovely city Charleston is. They have experienced worse. And, by the way, are there any year round residents of the city? Any original residents? Answer? No.

Hugo hit Sullivan's Island by Ft. Sumter as a Cat 4. Ian looks like it will make land near where Matthew did - Bulls Bay, Cape Romain area, both as Cat 1...and Matthew ripped out the bulkhead/deck on our condo in Garden City. The local TV reporter did a spot with my ocean front porch overlooking the torn up pool deck as a backdrop. Fingers crossed.

Good to hear of your sensible planning, #3. Happy that an esteemed LDootter will be safe. We've been to the warfside part of old Charleston and it does look flood prone.

Best of good fortunes, folks in Charleston. One of my old college buddies was not so lucky. He and his wife had flown back to Colorado last weekend from Fort Myers to escape the storm and hang out in their primary residence. His vacation home in Fort Myers had taken on several feet of sea water from the storm surge. His place never had a chance. At best his house is eight or nine feet above sea level. He has the most unpleasant experience awaiting him when he goes back to start cleanup. I'm not familiar with homeowners insurance in Florida and if hurricane-caused flood damage is even insurable, but his out of pocket costs to fix his place will be high.

I'm in the Charleston area too. Like poster 3, my property and home are elevated. My neighbors have a generator, so all good here. Parts of downtown Charleston floods with normal rain, as poster 3 stated, so when a hurricane is coming, most downtown residents know to prepare in whatever way that suits them or is required. I imagine the whole downtown area has been shut down. My concern is always the wind and all these darn pine trees my city won't allow us to cut down without paying for permission. It's hard to find professionals who will just do it anyway for you.

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone, and prayers for you too, #11. As I type, the wind has died down and the rain has stopped completely, though it will be coming back and getting worse in the next few hours. Ian moved east overnight and the eye will be making landfall north of Charleston somewhere between here and Myrtle Beach. There is a lot of wilderness (National Forest) and unpopulated land on the coast in that area, so fewer people will be affected.

Britain's Royal Mint has revealed two new coins featuring the likeness of King Charles III. The image, created by sculptor Martin Jennings, will appear on newly minted 50p and 5£ coins. In keeping with British tradition for coins featuring male monarchs, Charles is not wearing a crown and faces left. Coins featuring an image of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, face right and wear a crown. With each successive monarch, the direction of silhouette is changed. The new coins are inscribed with "Charles III • D • G • REX • F • D," which is a condensed version of the Latin expression "by the Grace of God, Defender of the Faith."

Former Democratic Rep. Michael “Ozzie” Myers (PA) was sentenced to 30 months in prison for federal election fraud, the Department of Justice announced on Tuesday. In June, Myers, 79, pleaded guilty to illegally stuffing ballot boxes in Philadelphia by digitally “ringing up” votes from 2014 through 2018, which Katie covered. Myers also bribed a former Philadelphia Judge of Elections, who was indicted in 2020 for rigging several elections. The DOJ announced in a press release that Myers admitted in court to bribing the judge to help candidates in the Democratic Party win primary elections.

What if your kid doesn’t fit the stereotypical behavior of their sex — your daughter is a tomboy, your son is effeminate — and a teacher or school counselor suggests they might be transgender?

Since my foray into politics, I have come to understand that our system comprises insiders and outsiders and that Donald Trump was the consummate outsider. He was opposed by the system on both sides of the political aisle. Admittedly, I counted myself amongst the opposition. It was only when faced with a choice of yet another Clinton, whom we were told held a 95% chance of victory, that I felt a throw-away vote for Trump was in order.

Scientists fear they've found the next big pandemic threat — a virus that lives in monkeys in Africa. Simian hemorrhagic fever virus (SHFV) causes devastating internal bleeding and kills virtually every primate it infects. It hijacks the immune system, disabling key defense mechanisms and breaking the body down cell by cell. No cases have been detected in humans yet but it is 'poised for a spillover', according to US researchers. By developing tests and monitoring the virus now 'the global health community could potentially avoid another pandemic', they said. Experts at the University of Colorado Boulder are raising the alarm due to SHFV's 'compatibility… with humans'. In a lab study,

President Biden once again shirked any responsibility for skyrocketing gas prices and instead demanded that gas stations cut prices at the pump for drivers despite their costs to stay in business being dictated by the market. [Video] His flawed economic reasoning is that oil prices are dropping. Oil prices are not the only factor in the price of a gallon of gasoline. Taxation and crushing regulation as well as progressive policies have a lot to do with it. It’s almost as if Biden and the left want to drive gas stations out of business. In a meeting with economic aides on Monday, Biden excoriated gas stations,

If Democrats could pull off an upset in Utah, it would have profound consequences for the control of the Senate — and the rest of the country. Republican senators are growing concerned by colleague Mitt Romney’s refusal to help fellow Utah Republican Mike Lee decisively win his re-election campaign — a posture that could potentially keep their party from gaining a majority in the November elections. Unlike every other Republican senator, the 2012 failed Republican presidential candidate is declining to express a preference in Republican Lee’s re-election effort against Democrat-endorsed Evan McMullin.

Mayor Eric Adams is finalizing a deal with the Norwegian Cruise Line to house migrants on one of its massive cruise ships and dock it at Staten Island’s Homeport, The Post has learned. Adams wants to lease the luxury liner for at least six months and use it to house and process migrants before they enter the city’s shelter system, a source familiar with the matter said. The migrants would be allowed to come and go while staying on the ship, the source said. Preliminary estimates show the plan will be “cheaper” than erecting another tent city similar to the one the city plans to open in the Bronx
