the first of the anticipated movement north of west was in the 11pm advisory. perhaps this is the beginning of the turn.
To: independentmind
Yeah. A stalled tropical system is horrible. Freshwater flooding kills more people than storm surge or wind combined. This one is going to be a killer I’m afraid.

Can’t believe my eyes with the forecast track slowing Florence to a crawl at landfall. It appears the storm only moves inland ~90 miles in 24 hours (8PM Thu-8PM Fri), roughly equating to meandering 4 mph.

Worst case, if Flo stalls and sits for days.

Western Pa here and we’ve had two days of solid rain with temps in the low 50’s! The ground is saturated.

Indeed. Check out the 10-day projected rainfall from the European model. It's catastrophic.

That looks real bad. I’m in a purple zone. Is Thursday the prediction date. If so good. Time enough to pray for it to go out to sea instead. Prayers up.

Yeah. Harvey-like rains over the mountains. It’s terrible. I sure hope the local media is preparing people for catastrophic river flooding

I’m on the edge of this, but well aware the path will change for better or worse in the next few days. The flooding will absolutely be catastrophic. It appears mudslides down mountain slopes may be likely, too. Whole towns will need to evacuate.

From 9/14 - 9/23 there is a huge annual beach music festival called SOS scheduled for North Myrtle Beach. 30,000 people normally attend. All of us are watching this storm closely, very likely none of us will be able to attend - this will also be an economic disaster for that area because of the lost hotel, restaurant, bar and shopping revenue that will be lost for local merchants.

I live in Tennessee now but have a history of being where I should not when a hurricane strikes. In August of 1959 we lived in Sumter, S.C., when Gracie made landfall as a Cat 4. We lived in a mobile home outside of Shaw AFB and it blew us over and we had to retreat to the hangar on base. We were then transferred to Yokota AFB, Japan, and lived in the “paddies” when a Typhoon Vera struck in September. It blew a tree through our house and we had to ride it out in one room of the home in 120mph+ winds and rain. Later that year we endured another “Super typhoon” but it wasn't as bad as Vera, being the worst super typhoon in recent Japanese history. In 1967 we were stationed in Del Rio, Texas when Beulah hit and traveled up the Rio Grande and flooded the barren desert there where I was privy to see trees loaded with rattlesnakes in the branches. It flooded the Rio Grande, San Felipe, and much of Del Rio. Since then I have no desire to live where a hurricane can strike even though the remnants of Rita, Katrina, Harvey and others have passed over me here as tropical depressions.

Im on Ocracoke right now. Very unsettlingTomorrow, or Tuesday at the latest, your post should read "Yesterday I was on Ocracoke."
