Hurrican Florence

Post by Joe Shlabotnik »

Looks to be a monster. SC, NC, and VA GRB'ers be safe.

I'm looking at you Tim.

They just ordered the evacuation of the entire SC coast, and some forecast models are calling for the storm to stall inland with 40+ inches of rain. Essentially, a repeat of the Hurricane Harvey situation that decimated Houston last August.

Flying through Atlanta to Exuma on Saturday; just got off the phone with Delta, they seem to think the flights will be fine.

There's also hurricane isaac that's expected to go south of cuba. And, there's Hurricane Helene that's supposed to go north into the Atlantic.

All sorts of hurricanes.

Atlanta is fairly far inland from the coast so I think that's why it'll be fine.

So the latest track has Florence shifting north and right now looks like Charleston will be spared. I’m probably going to spend the night in the hospital and wife will evacuate to her parent's house 30 miles inland to be safe

Looks like my sister’s place just south of Wilmington will be on the right side of Florence so lower wind speeds and less/no storm surge since the winds will be coming from land. Correct?

Looks like I'll be getting rain from the storm on Monday.

I just hope the winds continue to die down.
