Hurricane Florence is a rapidly strengthening major storm with sustained 130 mph winds as it heads toward a potentially devastating landfall in the Southeast U.S. later this week, already prompting evacuation orders on the North Carolina coast.
The National Hurricane Center is warning of “life-threatening” storm surge in the Carolinas and Virginia, as well as “a prolonged and exceptionally heavy rainfall event” in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic.

It sounds like Thursday AM. But if this thing keeps growing the affects will be felt way before then. My son is in school in NC and I’m seriously thinking about having him head home Wednesday AM. Waiting on guidance from the school.
Yes. But the problem was that their "before" and "after" photographs appeared identical to the untrained eye.
Your attempt at humor is grossly misplaced.
My audience is not on the east coast. :)
I suppose. Nor will mine be in Kentucky the next time an F5 rips through your neck of the woods. Geez.
can you find a similar recording on youtube?
should it head inland , there could be huge stream flooding.

Get out or get everything you need ASAP!

But that’s the challenges of posts that go out nationally (or internationally). Comedy is tough in a PC world. :-D
But to be extremely serious, this IS why I don’t live in any of the areas at risk. It was a conscious decision. As was my living on a knob rather than the valley.

“If I am right, this will be the most costly disaster for the Carolinas and Virginias on record. In addition, given our winter forecast, we expect the core of the cold and snow, relative to average, to be near these same areas, which means this could very well be the most extreme six-month period on record there. A hurricane as strong as Hugo or Hazel, flooding rains due to Florence’s slow movement, the possibility of an exceptional winter — you can’t get much more extreme than that.

The Appalachians have endured a very wet summer. The ground is already close to saturated.
The big danger is the potential 48 inches (1,219 mm) of rain that could affect western North Carolina, western Virginia and southern West Virginia. That much rain could cause massive damage. No wonder both Norfolk Southern and CSX railroads have their maintenance crews on high alert starting right now.
Or Ours in East Tenn.
The Appalachians usually stop the Rif Raf
Or at least knock it down to a vigorous rain event
My daughter is a student at NCSU in Raleigh. Wondering whether we should bring her home. Looks like it could be miserable.
The good news for me personally is that I JUST moved away from Virginia. The bad news is I’m in California.
