SENC

Not really more like a "steady-State" IMOP.. Will be Fed from South to North By 86F Warm Gulf Stream Water(s) WHILE it sliding south-South West, In effect being "spoon fed", with Steady fresh Fuel... Say combined southward/SW motion and the 8-10 MPH Hot gulf stream waters, comin Northward.. Well Not much "upwelling" What-so-ever..

Yes I said this Late Last Week All Wrapped in a nice Box with a red Bow... The Box's name & contents were SHTF… I'm still bullish on a Wilmington/Cape Fear Landfall as I was last week... Though I wasn't expecting Flo to Stall and SET on top of Us though.. I wanted too "Share the Love" with Our inland Folks.. I had a few friends Leave Wilm today for Down south below Dirty Myrtle &Savannah GA , & Atlanta,Ga , I can only Imagine their Dismay to "bug out" only to be "followed", (if that comes to pass).. With that said... DT has some great commentary..

Ander420, Is in fact Quite Right If you seriously think about this. In todays Political Climate... With ALL the Major media News organization(s) HYPING up this Storm, OMG End of the World is coming… After being called out & caught-up in many________, ending up with Egg in their faces for the Past Two years... Time after time.. Screaming, now, LISTEN to US! We are "thinking for you, AND then Tell you WHAT to think & Do" (It's for the Children you know).. Gosh dern right the General Public at Large Will in fact Ignore ANY future Warnings.. Until it's to late... Look at Memes All over the net concerning, & making fun of Jim Cantore, when He shows up before & during a Major Weather event.. Then there WILL be the reasoning that yes, in fact, MSN & Media are "earning" the Moniker of Fake News.. With that said... Floyd dumped 19.50 +/- inches of Rain here in Wilm.. Ya'll remember what happened then.. I cannot Fathom 25~45 inches of rain with all the Development in the past 3~5 years in SENC.. Destruction would be on the Biblical Type scale.. Floyd AND Fran, times TWO...

Please FedEx Lumber to ME ASAP...

I know theres not a lot of "comparison" but...

next..

best I could finding" Diana" 1984

@DownEastnc you shooting doves yet? , get me a few crows while you're at it.. I think we'll all needa few

I said,, Cape fear Lock Since last week,, If not,, please bring My crow, I've got Wells BBQ

Never mind that 100 miles spread of cane force winds, It's going to be UGLY for ALL of us!

how can I say.. Ohh oo. Caving to the earlier Euro Tracks? break out the beer? Fire up the grille? Break out the CROW?

best I could find ATM.. https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/10.1175/1520-0493(2001)129<1859%3ANSOTGO>2.0.CO%3B2 Looking for the atmospheric maps I'm coming up empty ATM.. Edit too add ALOT of Folks have even forgetting this one..

Dianne , 1984, If I recall

@Downeastnc remember this?

With-in 24 hours, We'll know about, 24 hours into landfall I'll try to get 'safely" as close as I can, record video.. (with-in reason & police).. I don't have a Wind aeromonitor , or barometric pressure gauge.. but I'll try to get good obs.. Are there "apps" for a smart phone,, android?

Thank you Sir, hope too post Obs & video..

Great too see some Long time posters show up..

WOW that was wrong & you know it..

With the crazy QPF forecasted upstate.. Maybe I'm overthinking this... Though If I recall... Hugo & Floyd had "Officials" per se kinda worried about "Dam Failures, (Especially on South Carolina side of the NC/SC line).. Yes I'm including the Raleigh Triangle in My thoughts.. There are some pretty Large Lakes & Reservoirs up there, (Earthen Dams capped with Concrete).. With the CRAZY amount(s) of QPF forecasted, What is the consensus here of A VERY REAL possibility of one or more Large Dam Failures happening up there? Like Jordan Lake, Lake Wylee et al? I imagine lotsa "friends" downstream would be curious.. I mean those "amounts" are just Biblical… !!!

My call,, give Me crow with Well's BBQ Sauce.. Fran+Hugo+Floyd in a nice neat bow..

Sorry google is messing with Me,, this is the Spot, in red.. during Fran..

I recorded during Fran , on Sheep Island at 130 +/- before We had to "hunker down", and our instrument "crapped out" Cords.. You are forgetting Bald Head Island, Southport,, State Ports, and of course, Frying Pan Tower.. take those readings into consideration before posting, A lot more Station(s) are Accurately reporting recently.. With "Weather Stations"..

I resided on the beach @ landfall, took a trip to "sheep Island" during landfall, this one scares me..

Folks, & @downeastnc, honestly I've been through ALOT of canes.. This one Scares the be-Jesus outta me.. If it comes to a ILM (or close ) landfall..

OT, local report.. Chit Show has begun here in Wilm.. Botted Water GONE reports of gas Stations already running out.. I "managed" to get Gas, (about 40 hours "run-time") 20 gallons just as the station ran out.. Station "jacked" the price almost 25 cents while I was there "in-line".. I spent close to 80.00 in gas for My generator.. Then theres this report from the Carolina Beach Boat Ramp.. Meanwhile I'm watching a "parade" of boats leaving ILM.. """"Ok locals, I am hoping that most of us have common sense on here. My husband and I were taking our boat out of the water today, due to the impending storm, and I watch people arguing and fist-fighting at the boat ramp. Parking lot full of boaters, boaters 10 deep waiting in line to either put in or take out and tempers were high and fuming. A new boater backed down and then proceeded to wait on the boat to arrive. The new boater initiated the argument that continued for 30 good mins with several boaters. He was expecting everyone to move so his boat could come in. In the meantime, I counted 6 other boats docked and waiting for trailers to arrive so they could depart. Then my husband had pulled up and was about to back in when someone cut him off and zipped in. His boat was still coming in. I swear I just shook my head and said dear lord please get us out of the boat ramp safely without dying, because I know the storm you are sending will wash these fools away. Lesson, be kind and courteous and help out your fellow boater. Sheesh. CB police or whom ever the Public boat dock officials are need to monitor it over the next few days. People are nuts.""
