say 60 miles per hour absolutely for sure. what happened to new bern? new bern is right there, up the noose river. there is not a drop of water all the way on the east side of pemblico sound. you can see the ground of pemblico sound if you re on the outer banks. it is dry right there. all the water getting pushed and the water not getting to fill that water in. it s already picked up 6 inches of rain, but the wind is pushing the water the other way. that s why that 10 1/2 foot storm surge is already there, and it s not stopping. the rain is continuing and the wind is continuing to push that rain back up the river. so it could go up another couple feet and that would verify the 13 foot storm surge without a doubt. here s the inner eyewall, down to about 70 miles per hour. don t let that fool you because
