Here's a link to my brother's PWS down in Charleston: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/ ... 86#history

Not much going on yet, just some light wind and .63" of rain so far.

It's weird looking outside this morning and knowing that the clouds are from Dorian. Even though the eye is off the GA/SC coast, the clouds stretch the whole way up into southern New England.

Perfect day here though.

Indeed.

Forecast looking good!

A water spout came ashore and tore up a RV park in Emerald Isle, NC @dodint

People always forget how tornadic hurricanes are. Especially in those middle to outer bands.

The webcam is up and active at Frying Pan Shoal, about 40 miles off the coast of NC. There is a helipad there and it is also a bed and breakfast...man, that would be a fun stay.

Nice. When I lived down there before joining the military my friend was still an active charter captain. We'd head out to Big Rock on our days off and fish for mahi and wahoo. One day a storm cell got between us and shore for our return trip, ended up spawning some waterspouts offshore while we were driving in, very cool to see it up close. Also got to see a few from shore the summers I worked there.

Totally normal to see a photo of a harbor with all the boats on land.

Portage.

Oak Island, NC. Not shopped.

This buoy, SE of Charleston, was in the eye. Check out the wind readings.

It is insane how fast and how hard the back end of the eye wall hits. A nice 9 mph breeze in the eye to 70 mph in two hours.

[shafnutz05]

Damn...OBX taking a beating. Could be worse, but still brutal.

[shafnutz05]

When the back end of that eye hits...damn.

When we were down in the OBX for TS Hermine, we actually experienced the "eye", as it were.
It was crazy to see sunny skies, hear birds chriping, and then fifteen minutes later you could barely stand up.

RIP Ocracoke. My brother was just there two weeks ago.

I can't remember which one of the storms it was, but we were out in the wall after all night and half of a day in tropical storm conditions. It's unlike anything I've every experienced - fierce wind and rain for 12 hours, and then clear blue skies for a half hour or so, and then 6+ hours of tropical depression weather.

Dorian didn't do much at my house or in our area. Knocked a couple of servers off at work, and some pine needles down. My brother had two trees land on his house in Charleston and he lost power at 4 am yesterday. The thing I remember from our storm last year was the wind keeping me up all night, worrying about the roof and the siding. My brother said the same thing - the trees were raking over his roof driving him crazy all night, and he couldn't get out to do anything about it.

Good lord.

The water started rising in Ocracoke around 8 a.m. And for two agonizing hours, it didn’t stop.

The National Weather Service in Newport, N.C., issued a flash flood emergency Friday morning for the Outer Banks, citing “rapid water level rises on the eastern portion of Pamlico Sound resulting from Hurricane Dorian.” The ocean climbed 7.16 feet in just over two hours as the eye of the storm moved off the coast, turning winds north-northwesterly, and sending salt water spilling over roadways and rushing into homes.

Photos emerged on social media showing water as high as the tips of fence posts, with the stoop of a home completely submerged. Other images depict residents wading through chest-high water, and homes and businesses were inundated as well.

But what suddenly flooded Ocracoke was abrupt surge coming from Pamlico Sound. This water rose immediately after the eyewall tracked overhead. The data shows a textbook situation, in which shifting winds sent a slosh of water eastward when the winds switched direction.

Weather observations reveal the abrupt drop in wind and air pressure as the eye passed by, along with the winds that howled again immediately thereafter and gusted as high as 90 mph. At the same time, winds switched from the east to the northwest, which effectively piled water up against the eastern edge of Pamlico Bay, spilling over the barrier islands. Radar reveals the Category 1 eyewall pummeling Ocracoke at that time with strong offshore winds.
