Just great . Two landfalls in the US.
Well, at least if it follows that track it won’t cause deadly landslides in Western NC, VA and Eastern KY. There have been hurricanes in the past that caused more deaths inland than on the coastline.
These days that's almost always the case.
I hesitate to use the word “interesting” but it will be a bit interesting to see what Ian does to the northeast Florida coast around Jacksonville and St Augustine.
Jax has a sizable commercial seaport as well as Mayport Naval Station and busy rail connections coming from both Tampa, Orlando and Miami. I have to believe there’s some definite flood-prone areas where the St Johns River comes in from the Atlantic Ocean.
Saint Augustine is prone to flooding too - especially Saint Augustine Beach and the downtown area.
Ha! Too funny. We may have avoided disaster again. Very Charley-like track. We are in the hotel with extended family. A hurricane party may ensue. Heck, the rooms are already paid. May as well make the most of it.
Good point.I now have a son on the Raleigh area.
Wetlands surround that development. City:
Weatherman Plus on YouTube is also excellent coverage.
Florida becomes the ocean today! Hurricane IAN causes flooding in Miami

Two branches, four main forks.
Branch A, 36 hour stall with the eye onshore... or off. If offshore, the wind during the stall does NOT drive surge inland. If the eye is onshore, have the keys in your boat.
Branch B, 36 hour stall with the main feeder band onshore, or off. If onshore, the stall will dump MUCH less rain. If the main uptake/feeder area south of the eye is onshore... have the keys in your boat and a VERY long anchor chain, cuz surge AND rain WILL abound..
Hi.
It was good exercise and the bay was like glass.

Have a Martini on me, Double N!! Made with Plymouth Gin, the drink of choice of Florida’s most famous fictional beach bum, Travis McGee.
More of a tequila crowd at the Hurricane Shelter Hotel.
How many billion times did the left blame this on climate change so far? 4 or 5 billion?
Ohhhhhh, Myyyyyy!
