Idk, there may be some opposite wish casters in here with the way y'all are already writing off the storm.
It's still going to be plenty of rain and surge and the winds will still frick some shite up. I'm just saying it's hard to justify any higher "strength" right now.

Yep. Over hyping the shite out of everything, then everyone quits listening. Hello Katrina.
Nah, the people that stayed during Katrina weren't going to leave no matter what. Every place has them.

I'd be happy if these Carolina fellers got just enough rain to keep their tomatoes healthy, and more wind from a $12 Taco Bell binge.

Give the WC a break. They are still traumatized from hurricane Gloria up there

I disagree. My recollection is that NoLa had evacuated for a storm prior to Katrina. Then when Katrina came a larger than average # of people stayed or left pets behind or didn’t properly prepare to evacuate leading to the clusterfrick. More “crying wolf” bullshite. We just saw it with the depression/storm last week in Bama/Ms. fearmongering and hype for an absolute dud of a storm.
I realize they want to err on the side of caution, but they’re doing more harm than good.
Of course if Flo reintensifies, then Game on, but I still think the hype is way overdone.

I imagine the 10 PM advisory will come out early... so that should be in a few minutes

So wait? I just heard on the airwaves the storm is expected to intensify by Friday.
Who knows what? and why is there such a disagreement between the OT and the National Hurricane Center?

New Orleans situation for Katrina would have never been a situation if the leaves don’t fail.
The hurricane missed New Orleans. It could have been a lot worse for Louisiana and New Orleans had it just wobbled 30 -40 Miles to the West.

I won't argue against TWC hyping stuff up. shite, they started naming winter storms.
However, for Florence, the hype was pretty justified. The models are there for anyone to look at. When every major model is showing a 3/4 at landfall + stall on the coast + 30"+ rainfall, it should get everyone's attention.
Also, we say this like Florence has already come and gone. It's still going to be a shite show for places like Wilmington.

Max winds so far in recon have been 91 mph.
Damn talk about models missing big time.
Which sucks because after all the hype people won’t listen. And many will decide to stay and surge can still be bad

The NHC said there is a small window, but expects it to "weaken" in max winds before landfall. The second part of that statement is left off of most broadcasts.
quote:
A narrow window of opportunity remains during the next 24 hours or so for Florence to strengthen a little when the hurricane passes over the warmer SSTs and deeper warm water/higher upper-ocean heat content associated with the Gulf Stream, and low vertical shear conditions of 5-10 kt will aid in any strengthening process. However, significant strengthening is not anticipated due to Florence's large and expanding inner-core wind field. By 36 h and beyond, decreasing ocean heat content along with the slowing forward speed of Florence will likely produce cold upwelling beneath the hurricane, inducing a gradual weakening trend. When Florence moves over the shallow coastal shelf waters in 48-72 h, land interaction and more significant upwelling are anticipated, which should further enhance the weakening process.
That was nearly 5 hours ago too.
