NJwx85 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Radar estimates are already approaching 15"+ near Morehead City. That seems to be ground zero for the most intense banding so far. Been a constant fire hose for many hours now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, the situation is probably more dire than 99% of the national media realizes. When it was downgraded to a cat 2 yesterday I am sure most national news stations dropped or lessened planned coverage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of lackluster media coverage, one of the strongest landfalling typhoons on record is occurring right now and I haven't heard a peep about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah @HurricaneJosh definitely made the right call to go and chase that one instead. As he said, it doesn't take away from Florence in his decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPetrulli Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Feeder bands are insane right now, pouring right into interior east NC too, major flooding imminent for sure.

Papa Joe Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Right now, the area around Myrtle Beach has below-normal water levels since the offshore flow from the southern half of the storm blowed it all out to sea. In fact, Florence has blown the sea out to sea in Myrtle Beach. The ocean at MB has pulled back from the beach, and the ocean is flat as a pancake as far as the eye can see, as this cam link that Macdaddy posted shows: https://www.earthcam.com/usa/southcarolina/myrtlebeach/resort/?cam=coralbeach When the eye passes, it'll not only get the north-side surge, but it'll also get the slosh as the normal coastal waters return to their normal levels. I wonder how much that will contribute to the surge? eta:spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmot Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 The rain from this storm is incredible, and flash flooding is more of a threat anyways. The storm tides so far though have been less than predicted.

Radar is showing more widespread and increasing rainfall rates spread further inland. I think the tone will be a lot more sobering a week from now (all rivers crest).
