The 1000 year flood of SC in 2015 wasnt even a storm
15-20 inches of rain in 5 days

Floyd in 99 dumped 15-20 inches of rain and flooded eastern NC ..granted Dennis came through several weeks earlier ...

Just saying the rainfall totals are going be a devastating

Looks like 85kt surface winds in a secondary wind maxima in the northeast quadrant. Florence could be a little stronger wind-wise.

Looks like Jeff shouldn't have moved to Wilmington, he would have been closer to those 85 kt winds at his old location.

Well, at least Florence offered an easier "soft landing" to more easily position yourself. What kind of wind have you been able to get into since getting there?

Positioning yourself ahead of landfall is nearly always a crap-shoot with chasing. Some chases certainly don't afford that luxury of extra time by the time they make landfall. Where were you in Charlie?


Had maybe 50 mph gusts in Wilmington before leaving. River was high even for low tide... not a good sign.

Was just south of Tampa for Charley. That one was a surprise wasn’t it?


Doesn't seem like it'll be close to the wind event it might've been. Be super careful with those rising waters though. Yep, Charlie spun up, intensified right till landfall, and was on a tear from the get-go. We intercepted the eye in Port Charlotte.

The eyewall may be barely drifting or slight jog southwest or parallel to the NC coast the past hour or so. The cyclone essentially is barely moving if at all currently.


Anyone see this image right at the last frame?
