The storm is currently around 400 miles south of Bermuda and is moving at 16 mph (26 kph).
The center of the titanic storm is expected meander Thursday, Friday and Saturday over a stretch of coastline saturated by rising seas, inundating several states and triggering life-threatening floods. Seven-day rainfall totals are forecast to reach 10 to 20 inches over much of North Carolina and Virginia, and even 30 inches in some places. Combined with high tides, the storm surge could swell as high as 12 feet.

Yes that?s our main concern here on the N.C.coast right now, the stupid little girls running the damn stock market.
They are predicting it's going to park itself over the inland coast for three days dumping rain,not a good sign from a Harvey survivor here from personal experience.

I am on the edge of the 18"-24" rain prediction. We had epic flooding in 1985...this could rival that...
Thought Hurricanes might be attributed to climate change and did a little research --- Voila:
"Hurricanes are absolutely being affected by our changing climate, in many ways. As the world warms, the rainfall associated with hurricanes is becoming more intense; they are getting stronger, on average; they are intensifying faster; they are moving more slowly; and, as sea level rises, the storm surge from these events can be more damaging."

Absolutely !!! No arguing with that entire statement and all referenced articles and statements. Note global warming is the main culprit. Global cooling can cause other global disasters.
