I've decided to drive. Here is what the Weather Service has to say:
HIGH WIND WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM TO 9 PM EST
WEDNESDAY...

VERY STRONG WESTERLY WINDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY
MORNING... WIND SPEEDS WILL PEAK DURING THE LATE MORNING
AND AFTERNOON HOURS...WHEN SUSTAINED WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH AND
DAMAGING GUSTS OF 45 TO 55 MPH ARE EXPECTED. A FEW LOCATIONS
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PIEDMONT AND NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN MAY SEE
WIND GUSTS UP TO 60 MPH.

RECENT WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION EVENTS HAVE RESULTED IN SOGGY
GROUND CONDITIONS ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. THE COMBINATION
OF WEAK ROOT SUPPORT AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL RESULT IN THE
DOWNING OF NUMEROUS TREES AND POWER LINES. MINOR PROPERTY DAMAGE
SUCH AS RIPPED SIDING OR SHINGLES MAY ALSO OCCUR.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A HIGH WIND WARNING MEANS A HAZARDOUS HIGH WIND EVENT IS EXPECTED
OR OCCURRING. BE PREPARED FOR NUMEROUS DOWNED TREES AND POWER
LINES. DO NOT CROSS WIRES AS THEY MAY STILL BE LIVE.
ADDITIONALLY...STRONG WINDS WILL MAKE HANDLING OF HIGH PROFILE
VEHICLES VERY DIFFICULT. THOSE DRIVING HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES
SHOULD USE EXTRA CAUTION...ESPECIALLY IN OPEN AREAS SUCH AS ON
BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES.
