His own neighborhood was destroyed yet he forgets about Sandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys think about my area of 30809, Evans GA. I am to trying prepare , but getting really worried The wind probably will not be damaging, could be some flooding of low-lying areas next to the Savannah River. If ten inches of rain fell over the course of three days, what would happen in town... that's kind of the worst scenario I could imagine, if these predictions about Florence are accurate. A few days from now, you should have accurate local forecasts of how much rain, if any, to expect. Right now the local weather is saying maybe two inches and that it will be very windy on Sunday (38 MPH) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a tidal surge that impacted coastal areas. Expectation is if live on or near water it does flood. common sense tells you to get to higher ground. This storm the media hysterical is outrageously lol. biggest storm in 30 years I saw on the news. going to be interesting to see the max sustained winds reported at an official station.My guess is 79 mph.

Chucktown81 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Regardless of what the models are telling us, what does the atmosphere look like now? How is the current track trending? Is it more N, NW, or right on track? Looks like its on the north side of the "cone" right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are saying/meaning biggest in 30 years for the Carolinas, there's a very good case for that. Maybe not with winds but with all the other factors as others have mentioned.

It isn’t so much a group think tank as it is with frustration of the general public ALWAYS wanting to downplay these storms. I expect that for the average joe but not from someone on here. Even if this weakens to a cat 2, the surge potential is absolutely massive. So is the flooding potential. This isn’t a joke. It isn’t a time to sit there and criticize the media. I’d rather everyone be over agrresive if it means saving one life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 The storm surge and inland fresh water flooding are going to be somewhere between catastrophic and horrific.

Ike was a cat 2 at landfall, it killed 110 people in the us and did 30 billion in damage. Isabelle was a cat 2 and did 5.5 billion in damage and killed roughly 50 people. Stop downplaying it.
