Toward the coast of florida. you may notice that track is very wide. the question is why? why is there all of the uncertainty about where this system goes? here is something to note. tropical systems always want to go north. so it takes something incredibly powerful, to prevent it from going north. so in normal circumstances, this would start to veer north. maybe heading back towards the carolinas. but you have this very intense high pressure system here that is essentially steering it, and pushing it, over towards florida. and the other question becomes, what happens to this low pressure syst...

Surge, relentless winds and rain and that's going to be going on throughout the day today and in throughout much of the weekend. it's not going to move quickly. only moving at 5 miles per hour. there is the current radar. you can see wrightsville beach right there they will probably make that the official landfall point. here are some of the wind gusts 105 miles per hour. cape lookout and the barrier islands there the storm surge, that will be the big creanissue heard all the reports of people rescued in new bern. people on top of their roofs right now waiting to be rescued with 50, 60 mile-pe...
