The game/the weather/what we are hearing
Sep 7, 2017, 10:40 AM

Ok, I've been on the phone all morning and found out a few things. Yes, the weather is supposed to be gorgeous in Clemson Saturday. That was never a concern. The concern, of course, is the availability of emergency personnel and the lane closures in case of an evacuation.
I had a Highway Patrol friend tell me this morning those lane closures and evacuations could begin as early as Saturday morning, and that would cause cancellation of the game.
Not so....
Everybody I have talked to at Clemson says the game is a go unless something absolutely crazy happens. Also talked to someone with ESPN, and they said it's the same thing they've heard.
I know that the city of Clemson had an emergency preparedness meeting with Greenville, Anderson and Pickens last night and held another meeting this morning. From all accounts, the game is still a go on their end.

evacuating from the low country Friday and Saturday, along with millions leaving Florida and heading north later this week.
It's good to hear that there aren't concerns of emergency personnel being stretched too thing with both the game and all of the evacuees on the roads.

I think his point is that the storm is projected to be in Miami at 8 am on Sunday, and Jacksonville at 8 am on Monday.
Therefore they could plan the evacuations accordingly and everyone be out of harms way by Monday afternoon, and we could still have the game with no issues.

Landfall projected on same course will be Charleston at 8PM

Evacuation starts usually at 36 hours prior - that would be noon on Sunday. I live in Charleston and many have a collective prayer at 4PM today that it turns East and out of harms way in the open ocean. Join us please in prayer, thank you!
