NC Courage playoff preview: Hurricane Florence throws a wrench into the gears

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard that major hurricane Florence (“Flo” for short) is heading for the Carolinas. Current model guidance suggests landfall on the North Carolina coast before a slow crawl inland over the next 72+ hours. The coastal areas of South Carolina, North Carolina, and parts of Virginia have already been evacuated as states prepare for one of the strongest storms to ever make landfall on the East Coast to arrive. Colleges are closing, college sports are being cancelled, and people are rushing away from their late-season vacations to avoid the disaster. Grocery stores are out of water and food as people stock up and prepare to be without electricity and potable water for days or weeks.
