Major changes in Florence's track this morning

[malaise]

This is going to be bad

1. Scenario of it making landfall on the Georgia coast

Damn weather channel has my head spinning.

2. Looks like Florence will be stalling off the coast and then bumping SOUTH!

Did I hear correctly that some areas could get 4 feet of rain? Holy shit.

6. If you remember Harvey last year -

Parts of east TX got 30" - 50" of rain. I think the buzz has been about the precedent of Harvey with a cutoff system and that possibility happening with Florence.

Hurricane Harvey aftermath



When a storm gets cut off from any jet current to move it along, the friction from land slows its original forward momentum until it just sits there and spins and drifts around, pulling moisture in from the large body of water that it came from.

3. Convection is really fired up on it

4. "Nuttin to worry about." - Dirty Donny* (R)

"We republicans are in charge. Heh, heh. As this storm turns into a NothingBurger, we republicans will expose the 'climate chaos' & extreme weather hoaxes that the pointy-headed libs are using to jerk us around. But there was no collusion with my republican fixers and evil empire russia. And there is no climate chaos. Believe me. You can trust us republicans, right? All you whiney lib wimps worried about this little rain 'event' should just shut up and sit down." - Dirty Donny* (R)

10. Nailed it

He's bad luck on steroids- a vile, evil cretin

5. oh no

Worst news I could see this morning.

[spinbaby]

7. Direct hit on the Outer Banks

I sure hope they have that area fully evacuated.

[duforsure]

8. Everyone should run for their lives from this

Because it could be the truth. Take no chances friends and leave, you won't regret that ever, but more likely will if you stay.

9. The way I've explained it to people who don't

want to go: A gallon of water weighs eight pounds. What do you think a fifteen foot wall of water weighs? Do you really think there is anything you can do to stop it?
