Hurricane Florence

What's worse, they put other people's lives at risk, who try to get them to leave, or have to rescue them later.

Same as people who refuse to leave an area that is under evacuation orders from a forest fire. I don't get people, Mother Nature is tougher than any human.

I have weathered out many hurricanes but if there is ever a fire nearby......we are on the first plane out!

Yes, that's true too.

It is not near as bad as it could have been. Dropped to cat 1 and won't stall off the coast. Flooding will still be a problem but nothing abnormal

My sisters house is 0.7 miles off the coast but it should be ok in Wilmington since it hit North from there. Hopefully, this stays well below Katrina and Harveys level of flooding.

Have a buddy doing that. Staying in his house at the coast. Not smart.

The coast? That’s probably not a good idea,even if the storm died down a lot. Still can flood on the coast.

Good news.

I live in Myrtle and we abandoned ship to family in Ohio.

Planning on heading home Sunday. So praying the flooding stays down and power stays on

Those people are so lucky it’s a Category 1. I’m looking at damage footage in Wilmington and that’s a mess. Can’t even imagine had it been a 3-4.

A tree fell on a house killing a mother and her baby ... sad that some people choose to ride out the storm and risking their lives and others.

Look at how tiny flo is when compared to Mangkhut currently hitting Taiwan ... might be how the photo was cropped ...

I would rename that to TYPHOON URFKHUT.

Florence on track to visit herself in SC.

My boy in Durham said it's drizzling. Nothing of note.

Wow...that’s far more destructive. Especially there,where they don’t have the same infrastructure and building standards as us. Was reading it was lifting cars up....that’s heavy wind.

Another forum I visit, a poster is from Taiwan and he says "many of the buildings are ugly but very practical and can withstand these events," he went on to say " they get hit every year."

same scale?

Not sure...

No,I’m reading an article where it’s at in the Philippines...it’s equal to a category 5 hurricane. It’s brutal bad dude.
