What kind of storm was it when they got flooded a few years ago? Something small correct? They also have to deal with mountains so it shouldn’t take as much to flood everything downstream.

It shows a lot more than that. A new storm just off the carolinas forms too.



Same with a storm on the pacific side of central america. That gif was nuts.

Matthew got NC a few years back.

Joaquin didn't even landfall but threw a good foot plus of rain across SC.

What's rough this go round is the north side is going to have onshore flow at the river outlets. That'll hamper drainage and enhance the backup.

Chances of strengthening before landfall?



Who knows? Best bet is to follow the NHC updates.

Isn’t that close to wetlands and canals?

I would get ready to go.

16 will be gridlock if this track shifts south again.

Slack, I'm between Savannah and Tybee Island. What do you recommend?


Check the NHC surge map. Otherwise, prepare for a week without power and be ready to leave if things continue to trend that way.

People in Savannah area don't need to go very far to get out of immediate harm's way.

ETA - I mean look, a tree can fall on any house with rain and an 80 mph gust, so if you've got that kind of threat, leave.

Good luck. Never lived there but my daughter is a SCAD grad. So we spent quite a bit of time on Tybee. Love it there.

So current area of landfall projection is NC/SC border? Oak Island, NC in trouble I assume.

She'll arguably get this one through relatively fast. rds mentioned earlier and it seems true to my eye that she never fully reordered after the first one, so the inner wall is probably a bit "fragile". I'm interested in seeing if that idea shows any truth this morning/pm.

Can't say I'm unhappy to see her waste the best window for strengthening on a EWRC.

Dr. Ventrice posted the IBM wx model which does show 95L as a TS and Isaac rebounding in the Caribbean.



Does that show 95L forming an eye over land??
