AJF0602 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 The winds have been relentless here in Jville. I almost made it into a calm part but it looks like it is staying just to my south so the strong NE part of the storm is about to hit me. This should be fun haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random Chaos Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Impressive eyewall onshore, but the eye is still offshore. The last 35 minutes of my radar loop the storm looks to have moved maybe one mile. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Storm looks better than ever as it makes landfall. I question the wind speeds as the gusts and overall wind package is very suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Chaos Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Is landfall anypart of the eye or the center of the eye? The edge of the eye is now onshore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathernerd Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 A really cool photo of Florence as she’s making landfall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csnavywx Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Frictional convergence doing serious work as the eye tries to come onshore. It was able to spin down the outer wind maximum, which has allowed the inner eye to consolidate and contract. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Flo looks the best it has in 48 hours. Was watching a livcam from Surf City about 1/2 hour ago and WOW! Anyone know any wind reports from that NE inner eyewall? Seems like it was well over 100mph judging by the camera but hard to tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a guy on another forum in Bath saying his dock is under 9 feet of water. Go to river and lakes page from MHX and go as far inland as my town of greenville and the tar river has seen 4-5 foot rises from the surge and we are way inland. There will be record storm surges from this hurricane in isolated locations. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Looks like LF is occurring right around Carolina Beach. I wonder how long Florence can parallel the coast without significant weakening. The eye seems to have contracted further the last few frames and this downsizing could increase the pressure gradient and thus a temporary uptick in the winds.

Hurricane Agnes Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 NHC reporting she has made landfall near Wrightsville Beach. I know there was a chaser (WxChaser) there last night at a house but he has since gone offline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I cant stress enough how insanely bad and unprecedented the fact the 92 bridge in Bath has water over it is....it almost cant be true. I read several reports that it is though. IF it is true then the devastation in the sounds and rivers will be at levels no one really imagined..... This is the Quarterdeck Marina at the base of the bridge, its certainly gone if the bridge is underwater......this structure has made it through surges for decades.... This is the 92 bridge as seen from the Quarterdeck...another guy who lives on Back Creek ( name of the creek here) is saying he has 9 ft of water in his yard and he lives up Back Creek above the bridge a ways ....I would imagine the previous record surge in this area would be 5-6 ft during Irene.....this pic was taken 15 hrs ago 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drscottsmith Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Been following the WECT livestream since yesterday (out of Wilmington). On their radar, eye seems to be moving clearly SW, and once it passes the Oak Island area, it looks like the eye will be back over water (a fair distance offshore) for a period of time. What will this do for strengthening before a second possible landfall in SC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwx85 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Looks like SSW movement currently, on this trajectory the eye should be completely back over water in a few hours, unless a more Westerly track takes over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
