A YouTube poster who rode out the storm posted this weather forecast about Florence.

I don't know who did the graphics, but it's pretty amazing.

The poster confirms that the prediction was spot on and the worst storm he's ever seen

Update: Well, she wasn't lying. Hurricane Florence makes landfall, and in New Bern, NC, storm surge is so high people are trapped in their attics, on their roofs, and bodies are floating in the water. I've ridden out at least 20 hurricanes since I moved to Florida in '91, but never saw flooding like that. Although St. Petersburg/Pinellas County is a peninsula, most of it is between 50-100 ft. above sea level. I've seen roofs fly off houses and land in the road, but never any major flooding like what's happening in N Carolina right now.

Hi Grady
Indeed, very frightening!
I saw this version, same animation program, different meteorologist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q01vSb_B1o0

Thanks for posting the link. It is informative and sobering at the very least.
