Hurricane Florence

Surprised there isn't a thread already, as this thing is bloody massive.

My parents were due to be going to Charleston today but that's not happening, but they are going to stay in Charlotte for a couple of days then go down to Atlanta.

It looks like it's going to hang right on the coast for a good 2 days and the warmer seas by the coast could strengthen it more before it hits.

I’ve been following this as I’m flying to the states today. Looks like it could be grim.

It’s interesting that a little bit of us is in awe of these catastrophic events.

Mike’s weather page has been pretty awesome for this.

Our head office is in Boston and whilst it should be fairly safe, most of our colleagues out there are bricking it, this one could get very nasty. Good luck to all those affected.

there's another one behind her too

Looks like a big one :/ Our head office is in Raleigh, with numerous others in the area. Hope all are okay

I hope CNN are covering this one. The last one they covered, they got it all wrong. But it was funny to watch

Apparently this one is tremendously wet!

No extreme weather occurring according to Trump. Nope. Nuh uh.

Been following it a bit - a real wildcard this one with so many foreseeable but uncertain factors that could significantly dilute or strengthen it before landfall.

Looks like that's set to batter us instead next week.

If this was in the uk, it would be the start of the apocalypse

Kelt · 12 Sep 2018 at 14:44

I suppose we'll see the effects the day after tomorrow.

Hodders · 12 Sep 2018 at 15:36

Wow - that looks massive!

Good job there's no global warming - imagine how bad it would be then !

(wondering what it will take for Trump to start accepting the facts)

Following this as we're flying to the US on Friday although thankfully to California so nowhere nearby but still worth being aware of where it's at when we land on Friday!

mattyprice4004 · 12 Sep 2018 at 15:57

I’m in NYC until Friday - I take it I’m well out the way?

They get everything wrong. Have you not heard? They are very fake news.
