HURRICANE MICHAEL ON CAROLINAS: Floodings on NC. Tornado watch has been issued for parts of North Carolina and Virginia until 9 PM EDT!!p265

At that latitude it would just be a strong subtropical or extra-tropical Low which happens all the time.

W at 6 mph per 4pm statement

Thank you

It almost looks a bit more WNW. I have some people I know in fayetteville, so I should get a good insight on how bad it is there.

Do NOT forget the inland Nuclear Facilities in South and North Carolina.

The FLOODING ISSUE issue, if there is record rainfall back in the mountainous areas, could be PROBLEMATIC FOR THE DAMS that are both UPSTREAM from those NUCLEAR FACILITIES, and for the LAKES upon which some sit.

I know know I am a bit of a Broken Record on this issue ... but it has been my contention all along that the REAL risk with this particular storm was NOT the Storm Surge or the High Winds when if was coming ashore (even when it was a Cat 4) ... but the projection of RECORD RAINS in the interior of both South and North Carolina and the RISK that those potentially record rains could put on the Nuclear Facilities, of which there are many, inland from the ocean (I never thought the nuclear facilities on the ocean would be a problem no matter how bad the storm ... those two facilities were well designed and prepared for a major hurricane)

My previous posts on this issue are on page 52 and on page 173 of this thread, so I will not repost the data here that I put into those posts.

IF this issue is to arise it is still a solid 3 days out from today ... and of course it would only occur if record rains in the interior of South and North Carolina occur
(we will see if they occur over the next 48 to 72 hours - if not, NO worries :-) )

That is extreme and yet I am often prone to over action.

No, not even a wage garnishment.

Rather perhaps, assign a suitable fine and withhold from their tax returns a maximum of $2,000 USD per year until the fine has been repaid.

This would "send a message", recoup rescue costs, and discourage future stupidity.

Hurricane Florence Tropical Cyclone Update
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL062018
400 PM EDT Fri Sep 14 2018

...400 PM EDT POSITION UPDATE...
...FLORENCE MOVING SLOWLY WESTWARD ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN
NORTH CAROLINA...
...TORRENTIAL RAINS WILL CONTINUE...

NOAA Doppler weather radar data and surface observations indicate
that the center of Hurricane Florence has continued to move slowly
westward toward the North Carolina-South Carolina border.

Amateur radio operators have reported a recent wind gust of 76 mph
(122 km/h) in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina. A buoy operated by
the CORMP program east of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina recently
reported a wind gust of 69 mph (111 km/h). Surface observations
indicate that the central pressure has risen to near 971 mb (28.67
inches).

The radar presentation of Florence has weakened as the center has
moved inland, so this will be the last hourly tropical cyclone
position update issued on Florence. Public advisories will be
issued every three hours until the system weakens below tropical
storm strength.

Well, my mailbox died. RIP

RIP To the 5 people. :(

In Fayetteville:

3:50 p.m.: Cape Fear flooding could extend a mile

Flooding from the Cape Fear River could extend as far as one mile from the banks of the waterway, city and county officials said, and residents are being asked to take the voluntary evacuation seriously.

Thats unfreaking-believable...

Yep. As expected. The surge blocked all water flow, plus the psycho rain.

I really wish folks had listened.

WECT out of Wilmington aired a press conference where it was stated that their rainfall total estimate was reduced from 30 inches to 20, I thought that was odd.

2 ft higher than was forecast for 3 PM... [link to water.weather.gov (secure)]

Extremely sad and not over yet. I already cried two days ago.

Many prayers.

Pics or it didn't happen

It was straight earlier but the storm tilted it and then it finally kicked the bucket. I put in the garage. lol

Very important info, thanks for reminding us.

5 ft. of rain?

I just went and checked my mailbox; it's still there.

Hugo intensified over land. It can happen. Weird stuff happens all the time or we wouldn't have a conspiracy board. :)

I really feel compelled to point out that you are the ONLY poster in this thread to be so rude to others as to swear at them.

That speaks VOLUMES of your character as a person and says more about you personally than any words which you may compose yourself.

Looks like a jog south

I think I will put everything back in the kitchen. I just put it all back on the porch thinking we were okay and then I look at my camera and my mailbox was a goner.

LOL

This post made me think of something I was reading recently..

Aye, nook plants. I notice the lack O'such in old ruskie. But then they made microwave ovens illegal. They also have no gmo. Stoopid ruskies...
