Amped Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 GFS still makes landfall, Outer eyewall is Grazing the coast along the GA SC border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela T Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 And it has been. But this MA forum cuts off this area far as maps. Just with a big storm would like to be included in all discussion since we are part of the MD AL. Thats all please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get lost here b/w the MA and SE and get very little information for this area. You know, we still get weather here and would like to be included in graphs and tracking. Hope you will include this area and if so , I thank you!! As a long time poster/viewer of this thread.. It's not like that. Sometimes I make jokes about Columbia, SC not being included vs NC... but you sound pretty serious.... Nothing is against you or your area here.... What I will say is that no one here is your personal forecaster or anything. Personally, I consider Virginia the Mid-Atlantic, not the Southeast. Anyway without a turn soon, this thing is coming in South of CHS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sctvman Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 20K outages just for SCE&G in Charleston County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkman Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 And I think people would be happy to talk about Richmond if you were expecting to have a big event. But this looks like 1-1.5" of light to moderate rain over the next 24 hours for the area and very little chance of anything more significant. As for the storm, I thought it may have been slowing down but now I think I had been looking at the radar too long. It seems locked in and if anything it looks like the eyewall is going to try to graze Tybee Island if it isn't already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parts of va can be like NC, but not the part I live in. My area is more like RIC and DC. We have a very similar climate. But, does not matter, this area gets lost in this forum of weather. When looking at storms , we are like in no mans land with little information for this area.Just look back on Mathew and see the void of information for this area.

I really hope the eyewall is tricky on radar, but I agree that whole area is at risk for landfall now. I expected the East motion before now... We are 10 min or so from high tide in the area at... at high tide there... this is not good for anyone down there. I do remember modeling taking it up right to the coast and then "skirting it".. but also remember some modeling bringing it inland (HWRF runs) and exiting around Myrtle Beach and coming up towards NC.

Angela T Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Than again, that is probably the lack of posters in this area, so there fore the lack of attention. Maybe more posters from this area need to be more forward on this forum. I think I just may, because I have enjoyed the conversation and learning that I have during the time I have been watching and learning. Night all.

That is correct and not a new revelation. It has been discussed since the forums began. This is the Southeast forum, not the Mid Atlantic. May peace be with you.

sctvman Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Yep. Still several more hours, but conditions are continuing to get worse and worse throughout the SC coast. Up to 15,000 outages in Beaufort County, nearly 5K in Dorchester, Jasper 3700, Hampton 3500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 1 hour ago, sctvman said: Worst case scenario for our area. Only had a couple blips of power off so far on James Island, but this won't last as the winds get stronger. Our neighborhood barely had any water during the flood last year, but a mile or two away had major flooding. Where exactly are you on James?

Didn't get much if any water damage during the flood last year. I was wondering about how high you were up. Winds have gotten insane up here in Ladson. Just has some 50-55mph wind gusts. I saw a couple transformers flashing off towards the SE and S of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree's are ungodly close to the road for an interstate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
