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

So admire the Louisiana Cajun Navy.

From Facebook:


Heart breaking.

Louisiana Cajun Navy is getting calls every few seconds with people in New Bern, NC that stayed to ride out the storm.

They are listed as code red. Some of these folks are not going to make it (unless there is a miracle).

The police and all first responders, including Cajun Navy, are standing down as winds are too strong, and water is too high to go out to save them.

This group just stopped communications to pray for these people. They are saying these people knew this was to be the worst storm, and after a certain point it would not be feasible to send anyone out.

Winds are 100+ mph. People are already in their attics seeking relief.

Unfortunately, trees have fallen on some of the houses and now water is rushing into the attic.
It is just LOW TIDE!!!

High tide is to come in a few hours.
Please pray!!

Funny how all the Male reporters are being blown around like rag dolls but the female reporters are just standing there in the wind, yakking away. And EVERYBODY'S ballcaps manage to stay right on their heads....never to be blown away by 110 mph wind gusts....

Is that going to be over before this cold front that is moving into Montana become part of the weather machine?

Please share an update image of the storm. Thank you

I tried to check Frying Pan a few minutes ago and the feed was down.
Same with Jeff. I was watching him and the eye was over them a bit ago and now it looks like he's off.

Smells like fish out there. wind isn't too bad here and very little rain.

Diabolical, what general area are you in?

I'm just an hour and half away from wilmington and carolina beach so 150 miles to 200 inland.

Stay dry

Don't know how to post it but Louisiana Cajun Navy just posted a OMG video on their FB. Tall men wading thigh deep in the middle of the street of New Bern.

They're trying to help an elderly man who's hurt, and needs to get to the hospital. Probably didn't have the resources to evacuate.

It's weird how you can smell the briny ocean far inland when a tropical storm/hurricane is nearby. Stinks like a windy day on a fishing boat.
