Hurricane Florence - September 2018

[CARIIS]

Let’s hope all are keeping our loyal pets and other gifts from nature. Safe.

I do not remember which storm but Disney put them in the bathrooms for one storm - I was so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brings back awful memories. The worst is hearing it at night with loud bangs and not knowing what just went down. Was it a tree or part of someone's home? I hate that feeling.

I know what you mean. Sounds can be so triggering. Like a freight train rumbling right on top of your shaking house until it falls apart and the roof comes crashing down on top of you. I commiserate with anyone and everyone that is forced to behold Mother Nature at her most explosive raging moments.

What about the wild horses on North Carolina's barrier islands? With this storm, I am not as optimistic as CNN, concerning their fate.

After H. Katrina, Mississippi lost entire barrier islands. They were simply gone, simply washed away.

I really only know about them because of a childhood picture book, made up of stills from a movie about them and the annual roundup., swim inland, and auction.

Any local native input (those of you out of harm's way)?

I wish nightfall was not coming it makes it so different

what so fried me out with Irma -- was it "coming"


it is kinda like a rumble before the actual earthquake starts

anticipatory

out my window is all big trees so there was (each gust ) a run- up

it was very fatiguing

on top of 30" of rain still?

Yep. 30"+ depending if it's just passing through, or come to visit.

The 33+ foot tidal surge of H. Camille in 1969 is what took out the infamous "partying apartment building" on the Gulf Coast down to the slab. There was a Tsunami that did hit the southern US coast last century and it was pushed by H. Camille - about the same height of the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami in Indonesia.
The tidal surge for H. Florence will be half of that.

Hurricane Florence has caused millions of evacuation orders for residents along both Carolinas coasts. On Wednesday, an older couple was moved from a coastal nursing home and a powerful photo was taken of the moment.

A darkened photo shows the backs of two hospital beds in what appears to be an ambulance. Across the two beds, the couple holds each other's hand.

The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control would not confirm any more information about the photo to WFMY News 2, citing HIIPA regulations. Those regulations protect the medical information of all Americans.

WFMY News 2 is completely fine respecting the privacy of this incredible couple.

I remember Camille. The remains came up to the midwest where I lived. Wicked wind and rain for days.

500 out

basically she is standing still with half her tushie on the oecan

basically all it gonna be is a huge water pump

pick it up when on the ocean

deposit it when over land

for 12 hours

landfall pushed back 12 hours

in mother nature that is what hurricanes are for -- redistribution of water across the planet .
