Luckily it dropped to a cat 1 but due to its unusual characteristics it will bring water on the scale of a much larger hurricane. Pressure is right up there with the big ones.
Everybody my age was taught as children about Hazel. Now any hurricane which name sounds like an old aunt makes you nervous.

There are public shelters and the whole State goes into shelter mode. They get really serious about this stuff.

Lower pressure means bigger storms yes? 1000MB being 'standard' atmospheric pressure? School was a long time ago

Apparently they just keep using the same names over again on a 6-year cycle until a hurricane is so destructive that the name is retired...I think this one is probably going to end up being the last Florence.

The media plays up the wind speed because it's visibly dramatic but it's the rain that gets dumped inland and has no way to drain into the ocean that does the real damage and kills people. I was in Floyd and saw how bad it can be. Once the area is devastated and has no power and stores are running out of food, the state government in Raleigh will send out undercover agents to buy bread at a store to see if they get gouged. If they do they'll arrest the seller.

We're seeing some erroneous info this AM. #Florence has NOT officially made landfall. A part of the eye wall has made it on land, but landfall is based on when the CENTER of the eye crosses onto land. Official landfall confirmation must & will come from @NHC_Atlantic #ncwx #scwx

Whilst grim these disasters are a good opportunity to block people who send prayers“Natural disasters are a warning shot God fires across the bow of the ship named "Repentance and Faith" He's calling you to board.”

I thought they were ever increasing reminders that climate change is no longer deniable, like arctic circle forest fires and dying coral reefs. Turns out its just ole jehovah pranking us as usual“Natural disasters are a warning shot God fires across the bow of the ship named "Repentance and Faith" He's calling you to board.”

Wonder how many people have defied the evacuation because they can 'deal with it'

More than enough, in view of reports coming in of people being rescued from rooftops.

This map appears to be conclusive proof that the more you pray, the more hurricanes God will send you. Unless you live in Utah, in which case he will make your lakes salty.

Super Typhoon Nears Philippines With 170 M.P.H. Winds
Super Typhoon Mangkhut, the equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane, was expected to make landfall on the northern island of Luzon early Saturday morning with an intensity not seen since Typhoon Haiyan swept across the central Philippines in 2013, killing more than 6,000 people. Heavy rainfall and whipping winds were already being reported on the island’s eastern coast.
