COLUMBIA fans and traveling

I guess they aren’t worried about the Columbia fans coming to the game. It will be horrible conditions to drive back to so it looks like I can’t make it. It is moving in faster than expected.

Sounds like a Jealous Coot, FYI you won’t have the 30 mph wind and rain until Saturday night.

Do Coots know which way to travel to get away from the storm? Just asking.

Get a hotel and let it blow past. There are plenty of rooms available in Greenville.

It is a simple decision involving personal judgment...

No one is forcing anyone to take any additional risk.
Grow up, take responsibility.

I agree that it has to be a personal decision if you feel safe or not if traveling from east of Columbia.
Playing the game on Saturday at noon is the right decision based on the weather forecast at this time.
Some people evacuated from the coast to the upstate. If you are displaced, it would be great to be at the game. Others will travel and stay with relatives in the upstate instead of traveling home.
People in the upstate can get home before the weather gets bad.
Troopers need to be serving the people of the state, so traffic control will be limited, but only patience is required to get in and out. It has been done before without limited assistance.
If you live east of Columbia and from Horry County to Charleston, each person will have to make a decision to travel or not if you were not in the evacuation zones. It might be fine going, but terrible trying to get home.
I will miss my first home game in over 20 years. Yet, I don't feel safe traveling in the weather conditions. If something changes dramatically, I'll go, but as of right now, I will not. I hate it, but it is what it is. Attendance will be impacted because I know of 9 of us not going from various places in the state.
The October flood during the Norte Dame game was not caused by any tropical storm, but just heavy rains. That is the biggest threat. Yet, it will not reach the upstate until late Saturday or Sunday. I went to Norte Dame knowing the weather, but could not get home for two days after all of the roads washed out or were flooded in Sumter I was able to extend my hotel stay. This time, with evacuations, hotels are not readily available, and I wasn't planning on going up early with the initial game time.
I'll be watching on the TV, so long as I have power.
Yet, all Tigers need to be thinking about those in the east of our state.
GO TiGERS.
