That heavy band of rain set up in the one of the worst areas of ENC and has pounded that area for so many hours! Just devastation!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more of a steady rain than torrential downpours for the most part Sort of surprising. That yellow glob looked punishing. I guess the biggest returns are on the feeder bands pouring off the ocean. Thanks for the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Surge taking forever to get back out with the east flow, Belhaven is a good example....before Flo I would bet the record surge in Belhaven was around 4 ft, this part of NC is a lot of low flat coastal marshes which help with surges because there is so much room for the water to spread out, the shear volume of water just to get it to 3-4 ft is crazy....well this storm pushed it to almost 7 ft and its still riding at or just above the previous highest ever recorded surge.....normally the surge would be out much faster as the typical path takes the storm north and lets winds go west which reverses the surge....hopefully the next low tide will get it under major flood stage.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash-flood emergencies — the most critical category of flood warning — have been in effect for several counties since Friday night. Up to 50 inches of rain could fall through Sunday in southeast North Carolina, which is coming into focus as ground zero for Florence’s most devastating effects. A citizen weather observer posted a total of 30.58 inches of rain in Swansboro, which is in Onslow County. If verified, the amount would be a state record for a tropical storm or hurricane and would shatter the old record of 24 inches — set near Wilmington during Floyd. Many locations in southeast North Carolina are likely to smash this old record by the time the rain ends. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2018/09/15/hurricane-florence-storm-continues-to-pummel-carolinas/?utm_term=.b2551a2f98bf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking totals seem too low too considering how long that band has been there. (or at least there has to be totals higher than those between stations) Wonder how accurate this station is?
