three as it approaches the coast. again we care what the intensity when it's near the coast for the wind and surge. sethe path, the new one. this is friday at 2:00 a.m. could be just off the south carolina coast and then look at this, 24 hours. this thing lingers, drift, loops, stalls, right near wilmington as it sits in the same spot of the friction of the land. we'll have a dying storm over about a three-day period over the north carolina/south carolina boarder and then it drifts through south carolina as it weakens. we're talking 48 hours of a major hurricane and hurricane forced winds. the forecast has improved for raleigh, but it's gotten much worse for areas in especially the northern half of south carolina.
