Hurricane Florence : a lesson in never assuming anything. Full archive of the NHC 5 day cone. This was a “guaranteed fish storm” aka out to sea track. Until it actually goes OTS, we watch them all. #95L

Never say never, especially when talking tropics. The evolution of the NHC 5 day cone for #Henri . What seemed like a harmless storm going out to sea may end up as the first landfalling hurricane in the Northeast in 30 years…

“My stomach is in knots” “I have a bad feeling” “I’m uneasy” No, it isn’t. No, you don’t. No, you aren’t. Odds are you’re hundred of miles away ogling wx models I’d wager >90% of people that say this actually want these severe events to go wild…it’s a bit disturbing tbh.

The forecasts for Hurricane Florence were never too far off of from what happened, but watching the forecast track change over time is still pretty wild. It is evident when models started showing the bend towards the US The buildup to landfall for this storm was quite stressful.

To whoever needs to hear it : never give up hope. A month ago my wife lost her job, Including insurance for our family. Not ideal during a pandemic. She had an interview at 9, called me just now saying she starts her new job tomorrow, with benefits. I also got a bonus today.

A little over-performer near Boone. Decided to take Poplar Grove road coming down from the Pkwy. Snow covers the road entirely in spots. Right before this Timelapse, a truck slid off the road in a curve. It was teetering on the edge of a 100ft drop. On its side. #ncwx

If I’m right, we had a pretty rare sight here in Florence, SC. Looks like lenticular clouds, which are rare on the coastal plain away from any mountains where these are more common. If I’m wrong, well, they still look cool! Interested to know if so. Florence, SC #scwx
