Is that the eye in the upper left of the flag cam?

The eye is over 75 miles from flag cam right now based on the coordinates of the platform and the latest position for Florence from the NHC. Winds are out of the NNW at the buoy near flag cam, so based on the position of the flag, that camera is looking Eastish. Florence is due East of the platform, so the eye IS probably somewhere in the general direction of that light patch, WAY over the horizon. That grey probably is the outside of the core of the storm where the fun REALLY starts going down, though.

ETA: fat fingered a coordinate. 75 miles, not 400.

ETATA: Whoever was looking for the coordinates of the frying pan earlier: 33°29'N 77°35'W

Pretty sure the grey on the right of the horizon is Flo's core.

We can't see the east side of the storm on radar right now, but there is plenty of rain out there.

Not sure which direction the cam at the Frying Pan is facing, but the winds should start shifting to out of the north if they haven't already.

Buoy 41013 is 8 nautical miles from Frying Pan Cam...highest gust 56 mph so far. It will get much worse. And that is the 'weak' quadrant of Flo.

Up to 200 people decided to stay on Ocracoke Island, NC. There is no road to the island, ferry service has now stopped, emergency response has now stopped. They have decided to stay on an island that might go underwater. Don't be that person.



Average elevation of the island is 5'. High points are barely more than 10' above sea level.



Did I see numbers like 20' associated with the surge, or was I misinterpreting something? Maybe at a different point?

20 feet of water on a 10 foot property doesn't sound good.

I bet that camera is pointed NE because you can still see that dry air.

Here's a link to a cam where the 200 people stayed -- it changes views from time to time

It rotates almost 360 degrees. Last night it appeared to be looking out to see as the sun was setting and I was like wtf?? then remembered it is out of sight of land and was pointed west towards land and the setting sun.

Agreed....it's somewhere between N and NE.

The view from the tower cam is getting pretty rocky.

The oceanana webcam on Surfline is probably the one that is about to start getting the real force of the band, from what I can tell.
