HURRICANE. FLORENCE.

CATEGORY. 4.

Florence is already wreaking havoc on the North Carolina barrier islands.

See the link below. From the article:

"Hurricane Florence is expected to hit the southeastern U.S. as "a large and extremely dangerous hurricane," the National Hurricane Center says, after the storm quickly strengthened on Monday. Florence is now predicted to bring "life-threatening impacts" to the U.S. late this week.

Florence is now a Category 4 storm, reaching that status a day earlier than experts had predicted. The hurricane center announced the change in an update, citing data from a NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft that showed Florence was rapidly intensifying, with maximum sustained winds near 130 mph.

Over the next 36 hours, Florence's winds could reach 150 mph, the hurricane center says.

The hurricane's impacts could range from a strong storm surge to flooding from torrential rainfall and hurricane-force winds. Forecasters warn that the predicted track will likely change — but for now, it shows the strong hurricane bearing down on the North Carolina coast, with a potential landfall north of Wilmington."

If you're in the storm's path, get out. Be safe!

weeelllll I am suppose to travel to Columbia on Friday for the USC v Marshall game Saturday, and then travel on down to Hilton Head to stay at a friends place. It looks like my plans may have to be fluid.

BobPSU92, with your good manners, did you not notice there was already a Hurricane Florence thread?

Too bad they haven't found a way to slow these storms down.

Interesting statement from linked article:

the average hurricane’s wind energy equals about half of the world’s electricity production in a year. The energy it releases as it forms clouds is 200 times the world’s annual electricity use.

The heat energy of a fully formed hurricane is “equivalent to a 10-megaton nuclear bomb exploding every 20 minutes,

Tow your boat to Baltimore and go down the coast. Should be smooth sailing!

only if I can borrow you truck and trailer!!!

actually I would be towing it back to Baltimore, that's where it came from!

But you won't have to worry about the boat, or how you will get back. The boat will be at the bottom of the Atlantic offshore Virginia, and you will be dead. So, you'll have that going for you. Which is nice.
