sound's reasonable to me, if you aren't 15' higher than normal sea level you should evacuate IMO...

Well, I was pouring over their ridiculous surge maps the other night and I'm supposedly in a Cat 4 surge zone, but I'm about 5 miles south of Sunrise Highway. I'm between 17-19 feet above sea level.

gfs is over mainland eastern NC...the moves off the coast...makes a second landfall in Central LI/Central/E CT

Wow, based on the other thread-- they were saying it actually is within 5 miles of the Jersey Coast and makes landfall near JFK.

18z RGEM is a nice hit/track stays over the water just east of ACY then western LI into HVN or so

I thought you'd like this:

Yeah, I think at this point we are very likely looking at a very large hurricane with 80-85 kt winds at NC landfall as fcst by NHC. Of course, given the very large size and fact that there will also be some support from the outflow channel and upper level divergence from being in the entrance region of the upper jet to the N, it may be very slow to weaken substantially even as it moves N.

Gon' be stormy come late Saturday night into Sunday. I don't care if this is a hurricane or a TS. Fun, fun, fun! We don't get to witness these too often in our lives. Track seems pretty well set with a landfall over C to W CT/LI. Don't underestimate the rain, storm surge, and flooding potential with this system. It's going to be nasty. 60+ mph sustained winds are not something we see every day either.

But I think all here would agree... next time YOU should start the thread. laugh.gif
