The Projected Path of Florence

Southwest until the end of the Alleghenies and then west followed by going north to New England. That will reduce D turnout in the election more than R turnout.

True but seeing that projection on the weather channel had me going, wha? Trump may luck out in the mid-terms even bigger than he did in the general election when Hillary chose more drinking over more campaigning.

It will be tremendously wet in the region for days..............LOL

Not sure where she is going but one thing is for sure...... Nothing good ever comes out of Africa

You expect it to be around by election day! I do not! Right now Carolinas are projected to take the brunt So i disagree! It will be interesting to see what happens if power is n restored by election day. This could be a real fucking mess if power is down that long. Not realy what the nation needs righ now!

If it reduces the tax base of the Blue Wall that would be a very valuable gift from Africa.

Irma packed a wallop last year until it almost was broken
up by the Mts in Cuba. It regained strength over water
and slammed into Ft Myers with winds near 140 mph.
Then it drifted Inland and came right up the center of the peninsula.
By the time it had gone 150 miles the eye was gone and so was the
rotation. It came over me with straight line winds between 60 and
80 mph, but was gone in 45 minutes, rather than the normal 6 to 8
hours that you experience a hurricane.

Flo has already lost a great deal of its punch before its ever hit
land. Nothing has been in its way since it entered the Atlantic.
If that eye gets over land, this storm could fizzle quickly and spare
those folks.

Probably too late for that. Three confirmed deaths and it is not yet safe to send first responders out yet. Apparently they were spotted either by reporters or out the windows of staging areas. Some of the barrier islands may be gone, as well.

The explosions in MA may be the result of previous rains no one knows.

Florence death toll rises to 14 in Carolinas
Sept. 15, 2018
- One day after Hurricane Florence slammed into North Carolina, at least 14 people have died, nearly 1 million are without power and hundreds have been rescued from rising waters.

In North Carolina on Friday, five people were reported killed, including a mother and baby in Wilmington after a tree fell on a house, killing the pair around 9:30 a.m. The father, who was was pulled from the home, was transported to a local hospital with injuries, police said. Another of the deaths occurred in Lenoir County, when a 78-year-old man was plugging in a generator, according to WNCN-TV, trying to connect two extension cords outside in the rain. A fourth death was a 77-year-old Kinston man, who family members said died at 8 a.m. Friday when he was "blown down by the wind" while tending dogs.

Cars sit abandoned on a street during Tropical Storm Florence on Saturday in Wilmington, N.C.​

On Saturday, the first fatality in South Carolina was reported: a 61-year-old woman who was killed when her car hit a tree that fell in Union County on Friday night, WYFF-TV reported. Three died in Duplin County "due to flash flooding and swift water on roadways," the sheriff's office announced. The Horry County Coroner's Office confirmed two people died from carbon monoxide poisoning from a generator. As a tropical storm, Florence is moving at 2 mph -- about as fast as someone could walk, the National Hurricane Center said in an update Saturday. The storm has moved about 100 miles since making landfall -- about 4 mph on average -- as a Category 1 hurricane. The storm, with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph, creeped from North Carolina to South Carolina.
