Extremely dangerous hurricane Florence continues to close in on the southeastern United States and it will carry with it
00:07
significant storm surge and life-threatening inundation
00:11
Let's look at these maps for example created by the National Hurricane Center to give us almost a block-by-block
00:16
Assessment of how much water lies you can expect above normally dry ground this for example over southeastern
00:22
North Carolina in Beaufort and Morehead City, these are some locations that we think will get significant storm surge
00:27
Now these areas shaded in yellow and orange can expect water rises of six, maybe even nine feet
00:34
That's gonna flood many of these locations downtown
00:37
But it's more than that because this is not just gonna be a coastal phenomenon
00:41
We know that the storm surge with Florence is going to continue inland and search many miles for example in Newport
00:47
North Carolina
00:49
Significant inundation water rises above nine feet nearby and even farther west than that. This storm surge will find its way well inland
00:57
So let's now have a look at what that might be like for example
01:01
We know Florence is going to bring one to three feet of inundation across many locations
01:06
That certainly is enough to knock you off your feet
01:09
It can definitely stall cars out and even carry cars away and certainly flood many of the lower levels of structures
01:16
But we know Florence is also going to bring water rises
01:19
Well above that pops up to six feet now six feet of water imagine that that carries large
01:26
objects in it like cars
01:28
for example that can act like battering rams and enhance the damage that would otherwise be and
01:33
Also, we know that can flood the lower levels of many structures
01:36
We also know that Florence is going to carry with it
01:38
likely storm surge well above that perhaps 9, 10 feet, maybe more
01:43
That will totally cover up one story buildings and structures leaving them underwater and certainly pose a risk to many
01:50
There are very few places
01:52
That are safe when the water rises this high
01:55
So, please follow the advice of your local officials and heed the evacuation warnings
02:01
And of course stay updated on all the latest forecasts
