Hurricane Florence, Projected to Pound North /South Carolina: Thursday Update, September 13, 2018 - 1 | Eastern North Carolina Now

    This is a continued series of posts explaining in detail the known whereabouts of Hurricane Florence, its presumed direction, and an accounting of its probable impact.

Hurricane Florence will affect a wide swath of coastal residents in North and South Carolina, currently making landfall as a Category 2 hurricane, in the Cape Fear region of North Carolina, skirting Brunswick County, NC and then Horry County, SC as a Cat 1 hurricane, about 22 miles south of where the storm was initially projected to hit, shown in this first report on Hurricane Florence on BCN.

    Currently, Hurricane Florence is quickly barreling toward shore at about 15 miles per hour, but projected to dramatically slow once it gets close to the South Carolina /North Carolina state line; however, what happens after that landfall is still subject to great change. That being the continual case, BCN is offering the latest information on this one named storm, including each post archived here for current and future reference.

    Please use these resources: 1) Current updates from NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration); 2) current digital map and projected path of storm(s) - in addition to the mapped information below to know Hurricane Florence's most current course, it's possible impact, and to plan for what become a life changing event - a powerful Atlantic Ocean hurricane.
