If this storms tracks South like some models


Sep 11, 2018, 10:02 PM

are now predicting -hitting NC but slipping back into SC somewhere between Charleston and Beaufort - it would sit over SC and send tons of rain down on Clemson Saturday afternoon. Could this be more than 2015 ND game? The plot thickens (no pun intended).

I don’t think the rain would hit until Sunday. Definitely gotta watch this one.

Don't think the heavy rain will make it to the upstate until late Saturday or early Sunday. But yes, the rain is potentially heavy - That is if the forecast does not change.

the field was garbage the rest of the season after the ND game.

If the European model actually pans out


Sep 28, 2024, 9:22 PM

our coastline would be razed to the ground. NE quadrant riding the entire coastline while the eye stays over water and maintains strength. It's quite literally an apocalyptic scenario

I am really paranoid of mother nature's strong wind storms, and I guess that is bc of a Tornado that almost leveled our house when I was about 7 or 8 years old in Summerton SC, and I've had a fear of strong winds ever since.

I remember HUGO like it was last year with all the destruction that it caused in SC, especially in Charleston, and the small town of Manning SC where I was living at the time of HUGO. The very last thing I ever want to be close to again for the rest of my life time is another Tornado or Hurricane. HUGO was all the Hurricane experience I'll ever need again, seriously!!!

I mean even strong thunder storms paranoid the living crap out of me, so this Florence Hurricane, I'm not at all looking forward to... If I could afford it, Me, my wife, and my dog would be on an airplane tomorrow heading to Canada until this Hurricane BS was long gone!!! I hope that everyone is safe, and don't try to be Supper Man by staying where they are saying should be evacuated. When the wind out side starts sounding like a full speed locomotive is about to hit where you're at, it,s already to late to try and escape it bc it about to come through where you're sitting or standing!!!

The thing with Hugo was it was moving so fast


Sep 11, 2018, 11:21 PM

it was chugging along at 35-40 mph and carried hurricane force winds all the way to Charlotte because of this. Florence is about as opposite as you can get except it's a Cat 4. If this model, or something close to it plays out, it could hang around the coast for 3 days. Imagine hurricane force winds for 36-48 straight hours and 15-20 inches of rain. There won't be a tree left standing. The destruction would be beyond catastrophic

I know I'm odd this way, but has anyone else ever wanted to go to the beach and watch a hurricane come in. Maybe going to the top floor of a 40 story high rise condo in N.Mrytle and just watched that bad boy come to shore.

I talked to a friend who just moved into a patio home in a development between the campgrounds at myrtle beach .

He says his house was built to withstand a hurricane . He and his wife are going to ride it out . He said almost everyone has evacuated and it feels eerie down there .

He said he hopes the builder wasn't lying .

If a builder is talking...he’s lying. Seriously, your friend is a fool. If he is anywhere on the ocean side of the waterway in Myrtle Beach then he is reachable by storm tide. That area has no elevation and a patio home would be even more exposed to rising water. Plus, if he gets really unlucky and CAT 3 or better winds hit the beach then he will get a good idea what his slab looks like. Hopefully if the current models hold up he will change his mind and get out while there is time.

Like I've said, once you hear that Locomotive, it's to late to try and escape that fury. Tell your friend to Google the news papers and the TV news clips of what Charleston looked like after HUGO, then ask him if he is still willing to risk his wife's life in a storm like that!!! Honestly, my wife wouldn't allow me to make that decision for her, and I hope that your friends wife won't either!!!

If your 40 floors up you have just increased the category level of the storm by 1 or 2. Hurricane 3 is now Hurricane 4/4.5 strength. No thank you.

Sep 11, 2018, 11:18 PM [ in reply to Re: If this storms tracks South like some models ]

...after Camille in 1969. There was a motel there on the coast where a hurricane party was held by a group of "brave" souls. None of them lived to tell the tale.

Don't be stupid!

There were nice homes where all that was left was perhaps the concrete steps leading to the house which was no longer there or perhaps a swimming pool left where a house had been adjacent.

Mother Nature does not suffer fools lightly.

I lived in Long Beach for a year, 1992, 23 years after Camille. You could see the steps and concrete pads for non-existent homes. People still talked about Camille and how they survived and the friends who didn’t.

I was in New Smyrna, FL when Charlie came through

On the 5th floor of a condo. Not a lot of fun to be in a storm that strong. You could feel the building moving a bit. The next morning there was a good 6-9 inches of sand on our 5th floor balcony. We rode through Daytona the next day - it was hit much harder than Smyrna.

during Charles back in 2004. But of course it wasn’t as bad as this. It was pretty cool but the sand hurts hitting your eyes/face and I left after noticing the light pole dancing around with power wires flailing.
I have thought the same as you though it would be very cool to be in a top floor and watch it if you knew you would be safe

Does anyone remember seeing the lighting about 1 or 2 hours after the Notre Dame game of '15. Traveling back home, it was the weirdest most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It was as if the sky became lit orange and blue and would stay that way for 10 to 15 seconds at a time. I remember unloading all the metal tailgating equip. (tents,chairs)when I got home just waiting to get lit up. That is one day from beginning to end I'll always remember. My wife still refuses to go to a game if there is a hint of rain after that night.

My wife and I were caught in Anderson until Tuesday following the ND game in October 2015. I watched the flooding in Columbia, especially roads I regularly traveled in the vicinity of Gill’s Creek floodzone, and was amazed. There are still wrecks of buildings still standing in the aftermath.

I pray it will not track South. The eye just rolling right along the South Carolina coast destroying everything in its path and what it does not blow away or tear down, it will just flood out. This is just an awful scenario and I hope it is one that does not play out.

Just asking, anyone got any idea how a home in James Island is going to hold up in this monster.

The tourism, I assume, for this state I imagine would be shot for years.

I was just north of McClelinville in Surfside during Hugo. I was a beach lifeguard in Myrtle Beach south end while going to Coastal Carolina and we tried to leave the day the storm was coming and couldn’t get out so,we(several lifeguards) surfed for several hours that day. The waves were deadly, it was stupid for us but we were young and dumb.

It took 30 minutes to get past the breakers just to get a wave and they were huge with wind-sheer about 18-25 feet. I got my whole back cut up where a wave slammed me into a reef. I wouldn’t advise anyone to do it unless they swim great, crazy and have someone on a wave runner to set them up and pick them up.

I thought we would die when Hugo came through and regret not getting out. We went a week and half without power and the coastline and flooding were much worse than I thought possible.

My advice is get out, nothing is worth going through what I went through during and after the crazy storm.

If your within a mile of the beach you need to evacuate because you can replace stuff but only one you. ??

This reminds me of this scripture and I know it has many deeper messages but with the storm coming we need to build our house ?? on the rock Jesus and get to higher solid ground.

Matthew 7:24-27 New International Version (NIV)

The Wise and Foolish Builders
24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

I drove to their home after the storm and was stunned to see the damage, especially at Garden City.

Plus below standard and failing levees (responsibility of the local governments) failed.
Different scenario with Flo.

I for one wouldn't want to be oceanside. One good wave in a house built before the International Residential Code, and you're floating in the marsh or smashed against someone else's house.

No power, No Water for days... No Thanks.

That being said, I live 40 miles as the crow flies to Surfside. We will form a prayer circle and watch over our whole home generator.
