Atlantic Beach, NC looks like they might lose the pier, it is wobbling severely already, with the wave crashes almost up to the level of the deck

Is it original? If yes, actually positive.

modern piers are built to last.

If the homes are newer & built on on pillars, they will be fine.

modern construction is tremendous.

How so? The group think tank here is on point today.

let the storm play out first & stop being overly aggressive.

His own neighborhood was destroyed yet he forgets about Sandy.

It was a tidal surge that impacted coastal areas. Expectation is if live on or near water it does flood.

common sense tells you to get to higher ground. This storm the media hysterical is outrageously lol.

biggest storm in 30 years  I saw on the news.

going to be interesting to see the max sustained winds reported at an official station.My guess is 79 mph.

You obviously don't understand how vulnerable Eastern NC is with these storms. Matthew hit as a Cat 1 and killed 26 people in NC and $1.5 billion in damages. 

If even half of the total rain projections verify, this could end up catastrophic for SE NC and SC.

You build a house on the ocean or bay, you expect this to happen. It’s nothing atypical to have a tropical storm or hurricane impacts these areas.

rivers/streams will flood for sure in the typical areas. Again if you live at the bottom of a hill or near rivers/streams expectation is it floods.

Recommendation is to avoid living in these areas if you are not expecting weather related problems at some point.

Ugh, this is the thinking mentality of many in these areas, then they scream why aren’t you saving me and risking your life when they are trapped putting more folks in harms way.  Society has somehow been put off by inconveniences anymore, not sure why that has changed but it appears to get worse with each passing year.

Don’t be so dramatic.

i would be shocked if scared son’s parents home is wiped out.

My folks live in Sunset Beach NC, 2 miles inland in a 12 year old home golf,course community.  Their lot is 28 feet above sea level.   They have refused to leave as have many of their neighbors.  I'm at my wits end and this latest run of the euro looks like the nightmare scenario for them.  My sisters and I have about half a day to try and convince them, scare them, do whatever we can to get them to gtfo.

These storms are more hype then furry typically. They will be fine. The winds reported  by noaa are so high up in the atmosphere they rarely reach ground level. The surge will have minimal impact at their location.

i would leave just due to the likelihood losing electricity for an extended time.

Nothing unusual. End of month 1st frost or freeze is possible in the typical areas colder in nj or Hudson valley.

enjoy the warm weather.

And... there it is. Lightning, thunder and heavy rain. Woot woot, dusty hardpan trails ought to be gone for at least a few days  and the freshly cut lawn won't brown out.

Been watching that line.

Expect not much in my area.

Doesn't surprise me. I saw a few flakes early this morning too, certainly not enough to even be visible on the ground but they did fall from the sky. I really should keep records because it seems that snow has fallen more than half the days this month.

Got a report from her again of hail & lots of it. Corrected her that it is grauple
