Yesterday the flags were at half mast for 9/11 ... I assumed that they'd take them down. NOPE. All the way up and blowing.

Double it then divide by two across the radius of the hypotenuese.
We got that triangle math going now.

We lived right down from you and stayed and it honestly was not that bad.
I think their deal was the trees falling down all around us/them. We lost 11 big oak trees, some falling on their fence and cars.

When they give wind distance (or whatever it's called) of say 200 miles, that's the whole way across correct so 100 to each side from the center, correct? No way it's from the center to each side .. I know I should know this.
I think it's a radius. For example, right now on tropicaltidbits, it says the radius of circulation is 200 NM and the radius of max winds is 15 NM.

Those would be 200-300s to some OB posters.

the worst part of leaving out of Norfolk wasn't the deployment itself, it was always the fall/winter water in the Atlantic..I learned what seasick was on those trips

In case anyone in the hurricane warning area is thinking of staying just give them this information from the advisory...
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the
tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by
rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water has the
potential to reach the following heights above ground if peak surge
occurs at the time of high tide...
Cape Fear NC to Cape Lookout NC, including the Neuse, Pamlico,
Pungo, and Bay Rivers...9-13 ft
North Myrtle Beach SC to Cape Fear NC...6-9 ft
Cape Lookout NC to Ocracoke Inlet NC...6-9 ft
South Santee River SC to North Myrtle Beach SC...4-6 ft
Ocracoke Inlet NC to Salvo NC...4-6 ft
Salvo NC to North Carolina/Virginia Border...2-4 ft
Edisto Beach SC to South Santee River SC...2-4 ft
The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast in areas of
onshore winds, where the surge will be accompanied by large and
destructive waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative
timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over
short distances. For information specific to your area, please see
products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast
office.
RAINFALL: Florence is expected to produce heavy and excessive
rainfall in the following areas...
Coastal North Carolina...20 to 30 inches, isolated 40 inches. This
rainfall would produce catastrophic flash flooding and significant
river flooding.
South Carolina, western and northern North Carolina...5 to 10
inches, isolated 20 inches.
Elsewhere in the Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic states...3 to 6
inches, isolated 12 inches.
WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected to reach the coast within
the hurricane warning area late Thursday or Friday. Winds are
expected to first reach tropical storm strength on Thursday, making
outside preparations difficult or dangerous. Preparations to
protect life and property should be rushed to completion.
TORNADOES: A few tornadoes are possible in eastern North Carolina
beginning late Thursday morning.

Those outer bands are notorious for producing F0/F1 Tornadoes.
