Florence Wrap up

9-18

Florence's remains are headed out of New England today.  She struck Wrightsville Beach Sept 14 at 7:15am with 90mph winds and 958mb pressure.  NHC landfall announcement

Storm surge was estimated at 11ft, but I don't have actual verification of that yet.
Rainfall was up to 50"  - many rain gauges failed, pws were out because of power, and manual gauges weren't emptied on time.

There were pws winds of 112mph, Wilmintgon NC Airport (ILM) had a 105mph gust,which was its highest wind since Helene in 1958 NWS ILM PIS on Winds

Flooding was widespread.  Rainfall as of the 17th below - keep in mind the gauges weren't emptied right.

This is the tweet on radar estimates.

A closer look with 30-50" in areas - we may never know

This left massive flooding...

Rivers rose to historic levels - surpassing Matthew and Floyd.  NWS put together a nice comparison in their chart, and many places haven't seen their rivers crest yet.
