Hurricane Florence

so i've heard, i love that legend

 

A friend of mine is from Pawley's Island. I love it too.

 

....this picture changed.

AM I TRIPPING

it had a dot near Greenville earlier and said it would hit at 6 pm. and Eastern TN 6 pm on Tuesday.
why does it say 12 am now. and the path is totally different
is this real. what is happening.

 

There are like 40 different models.

 

I know that, but I mean the actual picture I posted changed. I remember this very specifically because I posted it for Lynn and I remember staring at the dot near Greenville thinking we needed to get ready for a little after 6 pm Sunday.

Could it be because I copied it from a site, and the site updated on their end?
does it work like that?

 

Mandela effect is the most plausible explanation.

 

this is bullshit

jk its fine.

 

If you copied the image from the site, I think it'd be static from there on out and would not change but if you copied the URL then it possibly could've been updated.

 

basically, this sums up the media perfectly. i don't know why people haven't caught on to it yet.

i know last year, all the schools closed a day or two ahead of time at least twice because the news was reporting storm of the century level blizzards. both times we got less than an inch of snow (which around here, is equal to no snow whatsoever).

i can understand if they make mistakes sometimes. but never in my life have they underestimated a weather event.

 

I just don't see any way that the high winds and rain are going to miss me. Goodnightalive! I'm surely hoping these huge trees surrounding my house really do protect it, as I've said any number of times.

This is probably the 1st time I'm sort of almost scared.

I can't believe your sister! I would truly be scared in Charleston...not to be a downer. She must have a place where she feels safe.

 

The first Hurricane I remember was Gloria back in 1985.

I was 10 years old and as excited as a kid at a candy store, as tree after tree fell throughout the neighborhood knocking out power.

Here in New England we don't get them often but it can have devastating effects when it does like Hurricane Bob in 1991
and the Perfect Storm also in 1991 although technically not a hurricane.

 

Ha! Me too!

Blew out my aunt's windows in Rye Beach, NH

 

lol I wondered when did Greenville move?

 

Hey @Meliai is it "Green-vill?"

Or, "Greenv'ul?"

 

crap...I tried every way I knew (which is not many ways) to copy a copy of the model by "Chris Justus, Meteorologist" and it had a red swirly thing right smack ON Greenville @Meliai.

and @Noserider I say Green-vil...the vil being said like vil in village, or sometimes like veal. lol My southern accent is fluid.

I don't think Mel has much of an accent.

 

LOL I knew a gal in college from Louisville KY and she insisted, it wasn't "Louie-vil" but "Loo-v'ull."

 

Hurricane Florence: What You Need to Know:

"Just as government and non-profit agencies are starting to prepare for this storm, our communities must act now to support one another, sustain life and ensure marginalized and at risk persons.

In disasters of this scale, marginalized communities are often left behind, and there are many poor, Black, and rural communities in the cross-hairs of this storm. As always, people will depend on mutual aid for their survival in the days ahead. Getting ready now can make a real difference.

If you live in the potential disaster zone, gather needed supplies for at least a few days. This includes food, water, a flashlight, batteries, first aid supplies and cash if possible. Keep your phone charged and gas tank full leading up to the storm. Be sure to have the latest updates on road closures as evacuations are already underway and numerous roadways will be closed once the storm nears landfall.

Keep in mind your family and neighbor’s specific needs, including medications and ability to evacuate or get access to safe spaces before the storm.

Consider evacuation or going to a safe shelter. Also be mindful that vulnerable persons such as those who are Undocumented, those with mental health issues, persons with outstanding legal issues and those experiencing homelessness may not feel comfortable or safe in emergency shelters where police may do the check ins and could use it as a dragnet to make arrests. If possible, contact the emergency shelters in your community to discern if police are running ID checks on shelter seekers. Subsequently, making this information as accessible as possible to the community via social media/flyers and word of mouth is critical.

Try to put your important documents in a safe place and enclose them in sealed plastic bags. Reach out to your friends and loved ones and make sure they will be ok, with special attention to prisoners, people experiencing homelessness, people with disabilities, farmworkers, older adults, and other historically marginalized folks.

Also, think about the connections, networks, and assets you already have in your community. Where might be a potential place to operate a decentralized relief effort out of? What supply donations might you be able to tap into? The biggest antidote to fear is coming together with your trusted friends and comrades and strategizing together how to be there for each other.

Live updates on storm trajectory, intensity and issued alerts.

Hurricane Florence is projected to hit the coast along North and South Carolina late this week (likely Thursday night). This will be the first major hurricane to hit the US this year and there is now little doubt that this will be a major, prolonged disaster. If you live in or near the likely disaster zone we urge you to begin preparing now.

Current Projections:

– Hurricane Florence is anticipated to make landfall somewhere along the Carolina coast as a Category 4 storm with winds up to 145 mph. It is too early to tell where exactly the storm will hit and who will be affected by wind damage.

– Florence will be a very large storm. Regardless of where it makes landfall, a large area will be affected. A large section of the Carolina coast will face very high storm surge flooding.

– After moving inland quickly, Florence is expected to stall out. This would most likely cause extremely heavy rainfall and major inland flooding throughout northeastern South Carolina, southeastern West Virginia, and throughout North Carolina and Virginia this weekend.

-The storm’s potential path also includes half a dozen nuclear power plants, pits holding coal-ash and other industrial waste, and numerous eastern hog farms that store animal waste in massive open-air lagoons.

We cannot stress how serious a situation this is. As with any forecast, there is some uncertainty, but confidence is high that this will be a major storm. You can read more about Hurricane Florence here."

Not Hurricane Florence but much more instructive

 

The Hurricane has weakened to a Category 2
