Hurrincane Florence

[sternwake]

The storm is expected to grow to a much larger diameter by the time it makes landfall. Certainly being on the south side of the storm is more desirable than the north, but the exact track of the center should not be the main concentration.

Its my opinion onle those on the immediate coast need to hope to be on the south side of the eye, as at least the surge from the ocean will be less there.

But the Outerbanks, the pamlico sound can surge in fron the wast on the south side of the storm, and the shape of those islands and the shallow water depth on that side of them can make the backside concentrated surge a huge threat as well.

This storm has the potential to be devastating to a huge area, not just from wind damage or storm surge, but the fact that it can dump 2 feet of rain well inland, on presaturated soils.

Florence's Fury will likely be historic in proportion, if the forecast holds true. Hopefully it injests some dry air and weakens before landfall. That seems to be the only hope, as the out to sea possibility keeps getting lower
