A NOAA national hurricane center storm tracker flight measured an 83 foot waves within the eyewall around noon today. Tidal flooding is still expected to be 16-24 feet. | |||

I think that is in the big-ass category....from the big-ass wave scale, if my meteorology memory is correct.  | |||

I'm in Hubert. I punched out this AM to a friends house just west of Durham. Hopefully I'll be able to head back Monday morning. A few friends stayed back. They're bracing for it. Right now water looks like it will be the biggest threat, especially with all the rain we have had this summer. | |||

Just came back from a suicide run to Hatteras to board up our beach house. The island was virtually deserted with just a few of the locals vowing to ride it out. As is usually the case the weather was beautiful but very muggy. It looks like Flo will turn South and we may just get a glancing blow. Hope the folks further South fare well and get out of dodge before it hits. ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

Adjusted a little farther south? "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

I think the 5pm track is generally about as "south" as the 2pm track forecast The last two circles on the 5pm track represent < 39 mph sustained wind you can see that Florence is about 400 miles off shore At present, the hurricane force winds extend about 75 miles from the center. (roughly 150 mile diameter) About 300 mile diameter for winds > 39 mph  | |||

I'm flying down to Orlando Friday. I wonder if this will have an impact on my flight and if so, how so. | |||

https://www.richmond.com/weath...73-325372b61a42.html The storm surge may inundate some areas between Cape Fear and Cape Lookout with 9 to 13 feet of water. The heaviest rain will descend on the area where it makes its slow landfall. A wide area between Myrtle Beach, S.C., and Cape Lookout, N.C., could see 20 inches of rain from Thursday to Sunday, with the potential of a few spots seeing up to 40 inches. | |||

Like I told the boys, I am not a pussy... BUT. "water over wind". As of last night water was higher than the wind. That means EVACUATE. I know the CG gave special libo to the boys to go 500 miles away without putting in for leave. Most have evacuated. I have spent more than a few times on the Vineyard or the Cape in bad storms. Winds make me laugh. Water makes me cry. You can survive a wind storm, water sneaks up and traps you. I am currently just west of Durham. Hopefully more take heed. | |||

I hate wind / tornados scare the bejezzus out of me. That being said I have a close friend who has worked for the Army Corps of Engineers for basically ever and has always said. “Wind might do some damage but water is the most powerful force on this planet, wind didn’t carve the Grand Canyon” I’d just as soon not deal with either. Prayers and best wishes to all first and foremost keep you and yours safe. After that may all your stuff weather ole’ , pissed off Mom Nature. "Guns are tools.

That is excellent news. A category 1 usually doesn't blow much down unless it was ready to fall down already. A 2 is easily survivable in a well built and well maintained structure.....They 3-4 it was calling for before would be a heck of a lot of devastation. Hopefully there isn't much surge nor flooding. | |||

Thank you Skins, email sent. I went ahead and grabbed another 5 gallon can and filled it up so I have 13 gallons now. It looks like it might push further south so hoping we make it out easier.
