On the Emerald Isle live feed waves are starting to hit near the top of the pier. Really has picked up in the last few minutes there.
The pier is brand new too, fully replaced just last summer from the previous hurricane. Hoping it makes it through this time in one piece

So no “major” status when the Dorian strikes the US.

The two ways a hurricane does damage is to be a major or stalled.
Lay off the crack pipe. NC Coast is just starting to see the beginning of their turn over the next 12 hours. Last year it got pounded by CAT 1 storms.

Oyster Landing, SC just exceed Irma's water level at 3.37 feet (3.22 above normal tide) and there is another 30 minutes before high tide.
ETA: Final high water level was 3.47 feet, higher than Irma by 0.12 feet and only about 15 inches lower than Michael.
This gauge has only been installed since 2001.

Category 2 Hurricane Ike:
Size matters more than simply Category for surge.

This is a really interesting image from the Edisto buoy (41004) located ~40 miles SE of Charleston. The buoy is squarely in the eye of #Dorian and if you look closely at the web cam you can see birds flying around, likely trapped in the eye. LINK #scwx

you don't have radarscope, pull up the NWS radar from Wilmington or Charleston. Just go to weather.gov, type in the location of interest and search. There will be a radar on the page.

Track matters too. If this hits perpendicular, it only affects a few communities with surge, and then takes out the power for a few dozen miles inland. Paralleling the coast hits hundreds of miles of shoreline with surge + wave erosion + ts force winds.

Certainly.

Size, location and angle to the coast matter a lot. You get bigger surges in the shallow gulf.

Not always because Florence came in perpendicular as a CAT 1 last year when it hit NC and the flooding was devastating to the area and some counties still recovering and rebuilding from that one. Just saying

Yeah surge is much worse when a storm slams into the coast perpendicular compared to just paralleling it. Florence was also a cat 4 and cat 3 as it approached the coast so it built up a ton of water already even if it hit as a cat 1. Similar to what Katrina did. A storm hitting the coast and making landfall will always be worse than a storm that stays offshore and skims it like this.

Some Met Doctorate student should do his Thesis on Dorians Core.
I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it in terms of stability and general robustness:
