That latest GFS model is almost in-line with the Euro. You better get ready fellow SC baws.

Yep, short little ponies there. I know they are good swimmers, but not in 20' waves.

Last I read was officials said the horses would know what to do as Florence got closer.

I suppose that meant that were smart enough to GTFO

I wish the local authorities would figure this out with the experts so I know what to do.

It is a pivotal moment. The euro and GFS agree.

The horses have survived for 500 years and will survive another 500 more. They are smart creatures.

I guess so. Not their first round with a bad storm.

Duke, so what is the takeway here...

The coastline gets spared truly catastrophic winds but instead a much broader area gets catastrophic surge/rain to go along with still-hurricane-force winds (for a prolonged period)?

yeah, even that scenerio that thing is huge so it will skirt-chase and hammer beaches and inland. Oak Island (Which many locals STAY) will not exist.

Getting above my pay-grade really, so I can really just speculate.

The model runs, yes, would pound the coastline with high winds but not the major hurricane ones unless the eyewall gets close enough to brush the shoreline. The strength being depicted is suspect though. Prolonged land interaction, sitting over the same water for days should do some upwelling (but it's the gulf stream, so that wouldn't be as big a hindrance as normal), and unsure of how the shear would play out.

The big problem would be the rainfall. Constant moist flow and water being pushed in north of the circulation. Presents a lot of rain along the coast and winds pushing the rivers back. Could envision a tremendous flooding scenario from that path. The heaviest rains though, would likely be offshore, but that's not much of a saving grace if 20" is on the "lighter" end.

Finally, a SW path along the east coast is just fricking weird.
