ATL: FLORENCE - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[CrazyC83]

Recon still supports a hurricane with 67kt SFMR.

It probably has not weakened much, if at all, since landfall. I'd estimate it was 75 kt at landfall, and is still 70 kt.

It won't weaken substantially until the eyewall traverses farther inland.

No matter how you slice it, it is just a nightmare situation in the Eastern Carolinas with storm surge and copious flooding rain inland.

I'd say you're right. NHC doesn't seem to see much weakening.

Still a pretty small area affected...Irma knocked out 7 million. We did not get power back on for 3 weeks. That sucks in the florida heat.

Per MSNBC three confirmed dead from Florence... I wonder if that includes the two Hurricane Andrew just mentioned who had the tree fall on their house

I hear yah. My friends and I Drove smoking green during hurricane charley. They sent a message... all the cops went in and would not respond to calls. We were going backwards and went the wrong way up an offramp on I75. nobody around. good times till we got a flat tire and we had to call my dad who came and got us and whooped my ass. Im sure everybody here has done this sort of crap.
