Can kill. Today the threat becomes a reality. We have live Fox Team Coverage. Leland vittert and Jonathan Hunt are in the hurricane path, first, we go to rick reichmuth. The storm is slowing down in its progression. Thats why we think the rainfall totals are so extreme. You get the idea that its a large storm. Ly tell you, even though its weakened, it still looks organized and has moisture all around the storm on all quadrants. That means its wellorganized and a lot of moisture moving on shore. We always have tornado concerns. You can see the red box there. Thats a tornado watch. I expect to see them going through sunday because of the rotation from the storm causes a little spinup of smaller tornadoes. Not the Oklahoma City kind of tornadoes, smaller ones. Well see a lot of power outage. This takes us through saturday afternoon. As far north as parts of virginia, areas of georgia. Here along the coast because of this prolonged period of time where we add winds and hurricane force, tha
Hour to 6 miles an hour. This is north and east of the eye of the storm and its still receiving heavy winds and lots of water. Much of that town said to be flooded as well. Part of the carolina coast, lots of cleanup ahead, we are told that largely this town was evacuated. More than 570,000 customers are without power and just heck of up and down the coast. The storm is moving inland, not good news for those of you are in the raleigh area or anywhere inland from the storm except the storms get their energy from the moisture in the atlantic ocean. Now that i have that storm, the central pressure should begin to rise. When low pressure centers get higher pressure, it means they are not as strong. There is one spot right at this moment where weve got reports in Morehead City North Carolina, the National Geological survey reports theyve got more than 42 and a half inches of rain in the past two days. One man who has written out the storm throughout for us is bill hemmer, who is live in wil
Shepard Hurricane Florence is the news from the fox news deck today. Dont underestimate the storm. Thats the warning from federal and state officials this afternoon as Hurricane Florence closes in and the outer bands have begun lashing the carolinas. We want to take a look at the latest satellite images. The store is not yet ashore. Its right at 100 miles east southeast of Wrightsville Beach and wilmington. That is the spot where they believe it will come ashore sometime overnight. The Hurricane Force winds are already battering the coast from Wrightsville Beach and myrtle grove, topsail beach, atlantic city, moorehead city, all the way up to cape lookout. All that area along the North Carolina coast experiencing the beginning of the Hurricane Force winds and could go on for many hours. According to the National Hurricane center, the report of deadly flooding and storm surge has not changed even though the storms winds have slowed down to 105 miles an hour. Meteorologists have down gra
Still moving very slow. In fact, the latest information that we had with the aircraft and also looking on radar moving west at only 5 Miles Per Hour. So moving very slowly. So around that center you can see that intense rainfall and also some still gusty winds with the latest information still remaining at 75 Miles Per Hour. So, still a lot of gusty winds and, you know, very dangerous situation right center. Lets look away from that. These rain bands can be particularly dangerous as you have areas like this. I want to draw it like that because this is important to look at because really when you look at it on the radar you start seeing this rain moving really fast thats really because the rotation around the hurricane. But, notice, that entire band stays within the lines that i drew. That means repetitive rainfall over the same areas and thats where we are seeing incredible rainfall totals. Radar estimating 15 to 20 inches in some of these areas. Thats a very dangerous situation for fl
