Hurricane Florence expected to make landfall along the Carolina Coast on Thursday.

The most deadliest / costliest hurricanes are usually the in the lower categories. Katrina and Harvey are two examples.

They will pour unrelenting rain causing massive flooding.

There really needs to be a revamp of a category system to incorporate precipitation totals / storm surges along with wind speed. People are gonna see a Cat 1 and thinking it’s gonna be one way, but it’s usually the other.

 

[How Sway?]

I stay on a hilly area so I think I'll be straight might see some power outages though

Those people in south wake are probably gonna see some flooding

Those by the coast though
Some towns are still recovering from hurricane Matthew 2 years ago

Rumor going around they cutting the power off here tonight at 10 before the hurricane knocks it out.
That never happened here before and that seems strange...

You're in lumberton right?

 

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

You're in lumberton right?

Yeah

 

[Malik1time]

Charlotte has the best weather outta any place I've been. We will just get some heavy rain

If anything the coasts are what's gonna get fukked up

Tbh imma still move down there
After nursing school I’ll be making at least 60k down there so I can get a house or rent

 

[Killah Ray]

Yeah

I know everyone is still shook off Matthew, but if they were to do that and yall are only 20 miles away from me that's fukking ridiculous.

I just hope that we don't get that same dumbass idea...

 

[Lord Scion]

Al fukkin ready

 

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

shyt got downgraded to a 2. Ya'll tripping.

breh that's a hurricane regardless, it's still gonna cause some dangerous ass storm surges, flooding n allat. the wind just wont be as bad.


Grew up down in Georgia, even the Tropical depressions which are baby hurricanes are

Yeah me and a neighbor was just talking about how before Matthew hit it had rained for like a month almost daily before it hit. I have been keeping and eye on the Lumber River level and its is like 6 feet below flood stage right now.
All this rain we going to get continuously will stop folks from moving but if you stocked up in my eyes you should be good.
Not trying to sound cocky but I just don't see it going down like it did with Matthew.

I wish that there wasn't a such thing as a category system sometimes because the wind literally doesn't mean shyt most of the times with a hurricane.

This muhfukka dropping heavy ass rain for 3+ days is what's gonna be the problem...

I'm not too much understanding this, Breh. 'cause as a man who's been through Irma and a few other Hurricanes and Squalls, the WIND is the real motherfukker through all of this because once she revs up to 160+, the structure of your domicile is in for a test 'cause the gusts amp that 160+ to 190+

Irma had sustained winds of upwards to 190 and the gusts.....Christ. The gusts is what had that bytch tossing fools in the air at 225+.

And while it's not shade or lowkey dissing y'all American architecture, y'all live in some foldup dwellings with nary a cinder block or concrete column in sight so the wind definitely is compromising y'all walls fairly easy.

Also, y'all stay safe and peep hideout slots if you got to dip as well, man. I don't know how close the eye is to y'all but that is the safest time to recoup for round 2.

 

[str8up]

Hurricanes had to be even more terrifying before we could detect them shyts. You just chilling one day and 120 MPH winds and storm surge come running up on you with no warning

In most storms, the wind effect is short lived because once it touches land it's being diminished...whereas precipitation is constant and doesn't give a fukk about land.

It's why water is by far the #1 killer in hurricanes...

I was thinking about this last night, imagine chilling one day then a fukking cat 5 hits the next....shyt is crazy to think about...
