Hurricane Florence USA Atlantic
The outer bands of the storm are onshore now- the core is on the gulf stream pretty much stalled in terms of forward motion. the media is hyping the shit out of it, but only cat 2 for now. night here now, when intensification often happens - may be a squib though. lots od words like "historic" being used. pretty nice doughnut storm at time of writing- so able to grow. climax is tonight. about 1.5 times the size of Cambodia.

Re: Hurricane Florence USA Atlantic
an odd account from a journalist on the site of landfall on the side where the wind is blowing offshore is a kind of reverse storm surge where the ocean is being blown offshore from bays and estuaries resulting in a much lower sea level than normal.

Stay safe Frank.
Hopefully there is anyway lots of work for you so your trip don't go wasted.

‘Super typhoon’ far more powerful than Florence hurtling towards millions
A SUPER typhoon which has dwarfed Hurricane Florence is tearing towards its target with millions of people in its path.
https://www.news.com.au/technology/envi ... ddd0c07802
SUPER Typhoon Mangkhut slammed into the northern Philippines on Saturday with violent winds and torrential rains, as authorities warned millions in its path of potentially heavy destruction.
The massive storm, which forecasters have called the strongest typhoon this year, blew in windows, hurled debris and knocked out power lines when it made landfall on the island of Luzon in the pre-dawn darkness.
It packed powerful gusts of up to 255 kilometers per hour and sustained winds of 205 kilometers per hour while heading west across the disaster-prone archipelago towards China.
