ATL: FLORENCE - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[seahawkjd]

Governor Cooper of North Carolina declared a state of emergency for Florence. I can't recall that action done before the 5 day cone reaches it. I know it's mainly to free up resources and rules, but it still seems incredibly early.

That is very early, especially since Florence looks like she's barley alive right now.

It seems to be for farmers. Its harvest season and this could be a huge loss. The State of Emergency waives some transportation laws to help farmers get their crops out.

A good call. Florence is struggling now but almost certainly will intensify and perhaps dramatically so on approach to the East Coast.

NHC has a CAT4 threatening the SE Coast in 5 days.

Governor is correct in his decision.

It just gets the wheels moving.

I can understand the reasoning behind that.

Do you live on the coast?

The old style Goes-13 floaters are still available here http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/floaters-old.html (and still work)

It was to waive transportation restrictions so farmers can harvest.

yep exposed and still dropping wsw

I am sticking with the Atlantic Beach/Morehead City/Ocracoke landfall.

Amazing area of NC, I hope I'm incorrect.

Shear is really doing a number on her and she appears to be sinking like a stone. She's fighting the shear but it is definitely taking a toll.

I totally agree. Im sure SC will follow suit soon.

Also one of the models is showing a cat 5 now.

Im going on a limb for a rare GA landfall near the SC border.

I don't think the South shifting is done.

[emeraldislenc]

I live in Emerald Isle NC and hope you are wrong about the predicted landfall

[SouthFLTropics]

I wouldn't be surprised to see emergency declarations made all up and down the Eastern Seaboard. The beach erosion alone is going to cause havoc and tax local resources. Many coastal communities from Florida to New England may need Federal assistance with beach restoration and shoreline stabilization.

Yeah Flo is taking a major beating from shear for sure for the time being.

[meriland29]

What are the chances the immense amount of sheer she is being hit with now will cause her to disintegrate completely ?

You may be right on this one. Not only would the Georgia landfall be very rare, but the fact that Florence will make landfall at all from where she originated is rare. Of course we only have 150 or so years of history to go by.

Good point. We had some aawful erosion up in fort pierce from Gordon.

If that is Flo's LLC, it's exposed and down near 24.4N...

Olivia??

Hawaii

But if Depression 9 hit Puerto Rico?

Mangknut is also a threat to Guam.
