Hurricane Florence...Cat 5


Recommended Posts

A friend of ours in Naples, FL just posted pics of her house that was totaled by Irma. One year later and they havent even started reconstruction yet. Contractors down there are slammed for at least the next year or two.

Hurricane Florence: 'This One Really Scares Me,' Forecaster Says

Hurricane Florence, a Category 4 storm, "is expected to be an extremely dangerous major hurricane through landfall" on Thursday or Friday and has triggered a hurricane watch for all of North Carolina and part of South Carolina, according to the National Hurricane Center.

"Let me tell you, this one really scares me," National Hurricane Center Director Ken Graham said. Citing his 24 years in the National Weather Service, Graham added, "It's one of those situations, you're going to get heavy rain, catastrophic life-threatening storm surge ... and also the wind. Now's the time to prepare."

Florence is packing maximum sustained winds of 130 mph, with gusts up to 160 mph — and it's getting both larger and better-organized, the hurricane center said in its 2 p.m. ET update. Its hurricane-force winds extend up to 60 miles from the storm's center.

At 2 p.m., Florence was 845 miles east-southeast of Cape Fear, N.C., moving west-northwest at 17 mph.

Hurricanes are good for the economy

You know it....  The books empty every where and even in areas 1000's of miles away from a large hurricane have to pay out the ass to keep the hands from dragging.
