Looks like Cat 3 now. Still a major hurricane and a force to be reckoned with. The stall at the coast is likely to produce much damage there from storm surge and winds. After that it appears headed down to catch a little of South Carolina before weakening into Tropical Storm category. Keeping fingers crossed for further weakening off shore.

That's why the Outer Banks are there...The Graveyard of the Atlantic really slows down a lot of things

Saw this morning that Florence had weakened to a Cat 2.

Still a hurricane, but thankfully not the monster Cat 4 it had been just yesterday.

Hopefully some gusts will be the extent of it up your way. Prepare for tons of rain, though. This thing is taking its own sweet time.

Oh there's going to be rain alright.


So are the people of Puerto Rico upset at this at all?



That would irk me to no end

[TitoFan]

Those who know I imagine would be very upset. It all spirals down in a storm of finger-pointing and frankly, I just shut stuff off at that point.

Could you just stay in the eye of the storm and walk the way it moves until it fizzles out?

In theory yes you could....not sure why you'd want to though

[TitoFan]

Well.... the translational speed of a hurricane is typically about 15 mph, which is the equivalent of a pretty good sprint by a human being. So basically you'd just be keeping up by sprinting in the same direction the hurricane is moving.
But careful not to slow down, because that back wall is a bitch.

After a few one-hiitters, that's exactly what he'll be doing, trust me ☔🌿
