You cant have powerlines underground where saltwater intrusion is an issue. Ask NYC about that.

The whole NE half of the storm looks quite healthy, especially in the last few frames. if shear lets up somewhat, I don't see why it wouldn't restrengthen somewhat to a legit cat 3.
That isn't going to happen at this latitude while running into a brick wall of a ridge.

This is the best this storm has looked in a while on IR.

Didn't Harvey intesy to a category 4 just before landfall?
Harvey happened in August, further south, in 90 degree SSTs.

Satellite presentation is starting to look a bit better, but something def was eroding the SW quadrant. It has likely been a Cat3 for the past few hours.

Good trends if you want to save property and lives inland.
Yes, and I would argue that most homes on the coast would be ok in a non-major hurricane. Codes have improved greatly over the years.
The flooding however...

Disgusting especially if the eye barely manages to make it onshore. The coastal impacts are going to be extreme with most of those.
It will be, but it will also be a blessing for interior NC/SC where they were showing 2-3 feet of rain this time yesterday.
I am going to go out on a limb and say that if this blocking pattern sets up this strongly, I would expect Flo to weaken pretty significantly in the run-up to the coast, likely losing major hurricane status quickly.

This thread went off the rails a while ago. 90% of the posts over the past 24 hours should be in the banter thread.
The storm still looks remarkably well for having been onshore for as long as it has. Looks like there will be extensive inland flooding threats though the week.
