Hurricane Florence

Hope everyone has found safe shelter.

 

a lot of people stayed in last Texas hurricane and luckily the Cajun Navy was out rescuing folks. Went down for the cleanup and water was as high as roof lines in most places in Houston area.

 

Fuck this is one HUGE monster

Holy crap, that thing is a monster... Hope everyone stays safe down there! Definitely not something to take lightly folks...

 

I have a hard time believing that but they are picking up pretty quick.

The South Hatteras Buoy. 230 miles south east bald head island. Florence is about 130 miles beyond that.

Saw a tweet that up to 200 people have decided to stay on Ocracoke Island. If this is true, they are friggin retarded. I came across the tweet on my feed as a retweet. Someone did ask him where he got this information and he said they were talking to someone on the island via skype. Searching for validity of this claim.



This is the "possible" storm surge for the island during a Cat 4 storm.

 

I assume this is the flight path of the hurricane hunter and they are using an altimeter to measure the wave height. Not sure how accurate it would be I agree, but I'm no meteorologist. Just passing along data that I see reported by NOAA.

 

I don't know either but damn that seems to be huge.

 

Yea that is way up there. Hard to imagine an 83' high wave

 

Wow... Those barrier islands don't have a whole lot of elevation to begin with... Idiots, I hope they survive none the less.

I wonder what a 83' foot wave is in 15'-30' of water instead of 3000'? I believe they get larger as the water gets shallower.

 

Found this about Ivan back in early 2000's

the wind is whipping out there now, was calm earlier

 

Great Costco deal on an inverter generator.

 

Utility trucks from several different states, parked in various convoys along with semi trucks with large mobile generators already prepositioned here in Charlotte.

These truck will be needed everywhere!

The Outerbanks will have a change in its geography; may create or removed new islands.
Portions of the outerbanks are little more than 200 yards or so wide.
Okracoke is toward the south; those staying are insaine. Entire island can be over topped by the storm and or waves....
