There is the potential for Florence to stall or significantly reduce its forward speed as it nears the coast, which could prolong the effects of damaging winds, storm surge flooding and beach erosion. A stall or slow forward speed would also greatly enhance inland flooding of streams and rivers.
>States of emergency have been declared in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland in preparation for Florence's arrival.
Following an eye wall replacement cycle during Monday night and Tuesday morning, Florence began to grow in size and become better organized Tuesday afternoon. A jump in strength to a Category 5 hurricane is possible Tuesday night or Wednesday.
Another eye wall replacement cycle is possible before the hurricane reaches the coast to end the week.
If Florence comes ashore as a Category 3 or 4 hurricane, then damaging winds and power outages may extend inland more than 100 miles and northward along the coast by 200 miles or more.
How to spot a carpetbagger: >HEY GUYZ IM IN RALEIGH GROUND ZERO AMIRITE? (or Charlotte or Triad faggots) >OY VEY I'M A HURRICANE VICTIM ITS LITERALLY ANUDDA SHOAH (posted 100+ miles inland).
Nags Head Nigger checking in, got my Carolina Card so I can return, but I'm thinking about staying and pilfering the rentals. There's a distinct lack of homeowners in Southern Shores so I think I'll be fine and make out with a bunch of booze.
Oy gevalt I just moved to Cary NC from Manhattan. This is like a second Shoah.

For Jeff
Gather 'round little ones Let me tell you a tale Of a man with a heart the size of a whale Jeff was his name The storm his game No matter its strength or from whence it came It was danger he sought And danger he found The danger that turned all his frowns upside down The Lord made Men And the Lord, He was pleased But when He made Jeff, He fell to his knees And He wept for He saw His work finally complete For Jeff was not like other Men the Lord made Jeff was the best For Jeff never swayed Come rain or come shine Come wind, sleet, or hail Jeff will be there Without falter, without fail So sleep tight, tonight Sleep snug in your bed And dream the sweet dreams that dance in your head For somewhere out there Jeff chases the storm Chases the danger so you can sleep warm And just as the storm Men come and Men go But Jeff is the rock through whom God's Grace we know
Why are all hurricanes named after such white inclusivity. Just imagine how beautiful it would be if we could get these storms named after famous black people. Hurricane Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Jamal, or LaMarkus
Kek. Was this from harvey? >these youths were filmed rescuing Jordan's from the local shoe store

I'm in Raleigh for school and the plan was to ride out the storm back home west of Charlotte but it looks like I'm still fucked? will it at least be weaker by the time it gets to me?
Hits SE NC, then makes a beeline for the GA & FL just for funsies
Jayden Collins
At this point you might have a better shot staying here. We're going to get fucked but if Flo tracks south after stalling then Charlotte will get fucked harder than us.
I was kind of hoping Florence would track up the coast and hit here in Jersey. >live in coastal state >hardly a hurricane I need a saga.

Isn't that pretty unusual behavior though, to go back down south?
Landon Harris
Yeah the steering currents are little to none at the coast so right before landfall she may stall out and swing around. Could be worse cus that means rain and wind and surge for 24+ hours.
Yeah I tied off until I ran out of cleats lol. All that remains is to see if I guesstimated the surge height correctly, and if I go back to find her drowned by her own lines, or drifting somewhere at the mouth of the Chesapeake with 6 cleat sized holes in her. Stay safe dude, and the clanging rigging orchestra will be singing you to sleep on thursday, thats for sure.
