How fast are they expecting her to be moving once she comes onshore?


Unfortunately, not very. Still a possibility she stalls and drifts before even reaching the coast

I see the major media already pushing the cat 5 narrative

Neighbors and I both have generators, gas, and lots of beer and wine. I think we’re ready.

your mom is in Sumter then she really only has to worry about a lot of rain. If she's not in a flood prone area, then no reason to leave.


Power outages and rain, but both should be somewhat manageable.

Unfortunately they almost need to for people to take it seriously. You almost can't afford to be nuanced.

The Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore is a legendary figure in hurricane reporting and he arrived in Wilmington Monday.

WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH -- As Southeastern N.C. settled into Hurricane Florence Watch over the weekend, it also kept an eye out for another arrival -- Jim Cantore.

The seasoned meteorologist for The Weather Channel has long been the face of hurricane coverage for the 24-hour weather network. Wherever they go, he goes.

By that evening, it seemed as though the entire region was on alert.

People joke about Cantore’s presence, but for some, it’s a fact of life. Whenever someone like Cantore brings his reputable weather team to the region, people know it is a sign to start paying attention if they haven’t already.

“It follows me around,” Cantore said Tuesday. “People know I try to get to the worst of the weather. But hey, if it helps get people out of harm’s way, then mission accomplished.”

True. Didn't approach it like that. Taking a persuasion class for a com credit and thought more of dramatization for hit, but you are right, hopefully it helps.

160 mph at 1000 feet, but much lower at the surface.

Don't get me wrong, they're doing it because it's good for their pockets, but they've done it for so long that people ignore otherwise major storms.

All almost everyone should be concerned about is the rain and flooding. People get way too caught up in what category is the storm. If you aren’t right on the coast the wind strength in most storms isn’t the main issue.

Looks like the inner core is as healthy as its been all day. Still a little to be desired to her south, so hopefully any strengthening fails to materialize.

Not sure if this has been posted before but either way not great.

From. Weather Underground. This kinda sucks... The 12Z Tuesday run of the European model introduced a new and very distressing possibility: Florence stalling just offshore of North Carolina near Wilmington for roughly a day, then moving southwestward along and just off the South Carolina coast on Saturday, and finally making landfall close to Savannah, Georgia, on Sunday—all while still a hurricane. This outlandish-seeming prospect gained support from the 18Z run of the GFS model. It painted a very similar picture, with a landfall a bit farther north, near Charleston, on Sunday. The 18Z track from the experimental GFS FV3 model is very similar to the GFS track.

I'm guessing that gap is the dry air?

Looks like it's getting closed off?

shite sounds interesting.

Here is a uploaded YouTube video of a video done back in the 90s that describes the industry pretty well. Hasn’t changed a whole lot except better farming practices leading to increased production per acre
