Hurricane Florence Live Thread II
NHC/NOAA ^ | 12 September 2018 | NHC/NOAA

Posted on 09/12/2018 1:53:29 PM PDT by NautiNurse

The National Hurricane Center has been issuing advisories for Hurricane Florence since August 30. The five day "Cone of Uncertainty" archive progression since Aug. 30 may be found here. As the super-size storm named Florence approached the U.S. Atlantic Coast, stories abound of people who are refusing to evacuate barrier islands.

The 82nd Airborne has relocated all of its assets, while FEMA is using Fort Bragg as a major staging area for post-storm supplies, including meals, water and cots. Fort Jackson (Columbia SC) has cancelled events including basic training graduation to prepare for military and civilian evacuees from coastal locations.

While hurricane preparations are rushed to completion, some stores are closing for lack of hurricane supplies inventory. Smart phone app Gas Buddy provides updates for gasoline availability along evacuation routes.

Wave heights to 83 ft. were recorded while Hurricane Florence churned 435 miles from Wilmington, NC. Storm surge is predicted to reach 6-13 ft along the coastline to the N of landfall. Steering currents are forecast to collapse at or near landfall, resulting in Florence meandering for days. This is expected to result in up to 40 inches of rainfall in isolated areas in the Carolinas, and up to a foot of rain in the Appalachian Mountains.

Tropical Storm Isaac: The government of France has issued Tropical Storm Warnings and Watches for the Lesser Antilles.

Thank you, I do appreciate it. Prayers for everyone in it’s path. The worst issue will be the flooding.

Yup. Eyewall “filling in” (if you count green.) Today’s convection band looks healthy, but not scary. This will retain some punch for the next 24.

Any decent non-Youtube webcams that are still operating in the Outer Banks or Wilmington?

I tried surfing around to find some but didn’t have much luck.

Further along in this short video seems to be footage of those ridiculous sandbags next to condos being overtopped by small waves (at low tide)

Man, I hear that re groundskeeping !
Stuff’s growing an inch a day and too much rain to get out after it.
Got half the acre done on Tue before the rain chased me inside.
Just now finished catching up with all the rest in the brief dry spell we’ve had today.

Mow trim rake blow .. mow trim rake blow .. mow trim rake blow . . .
That’s not to be heard as whining tho, not with Flo about to hit the folks down South.
Also grateful to still be healthy enough (more/less ;-) to do it all.

“Earthquake reported in South Carolina”

Low pressure, wide area. There will be a whole bunch of premature deliveries, too. Doggone crumb-snatchers just pop right out!

And it looks like SC is out of drought conditions, the entire state, for the first time in 2 years. Also interesting.
