Reports circling on the interweb suggest that Hurricane Florence may impact the U.S. East Coast as a Category 4 with winds in excess of 130 miles per hour and a storm surge of over 15 feet.

The coastline in which Florence is expected to impact has a continental shelf which is less than 150 feet deep that’s expected to add to the force of the storm.



A 20 plus foot surge is expected in the region of the Carolinas, as Wunderground.com reports.

Excessive flooding will be a factor aside from the high winds which will add to the danger.
