  • What does 9 feet of storm surge look like? We show you like nobody else can. This was the forecast storm surge for the Carolina coast as Hurricane Florence was approaching.
    * Forecast data from Sept 12th at 5:00 PM (ET)*

      More than one million people heeded the advise and got out early. The Govenor and his team reversed both southbound lanes of interstate 26, thus giving four lanes of highway to move people through. I 26 is the only interstate coming up from the Lowlands shore areas. Contrary to your statement, the majority of the coastlines are ghost towns. A tiny number stayed, yes, but in the double digits. I live 4 hours inland from the Charleston area. I live 5.5 hours inland from the Wilmington area. We have had close to a week to watch this storm develop. When the governor of south Carolina orders a MANDATORY evacuation 4 days ahead of anticipated landfall?....you decide: ego vs logic. Logic has won.

    Wow....this is incredible....and perfect for people who have never experienced a potentially "catastrophic" storm event. It's pretty amazing to see some of the "comments" of people who "clearly" haven't experienced the before and after. As a Hugo survivor, my life was changed in a really short period of time. Back in 1989, 9/22 to be exact, we weren't as advanced on the potential devastation of a storm. It can be totally life changing. I had customers living on Pawley's Island who had nothing but their suitcases left. Mother Nature is not something to be reckoned with. Yeah, it might be inconvenient....but being safe rather than sorry is my motto after Hugo's wrath.

      Yeah, well, that's life. Hoping those things don't happen is great. But there are ways to make a change that are much more successful than just sitting behind your computer and hoping. Find organizations that help animals during natural disasters and those that expand their rescue efforts to animals and donate. Then post links to those organizations on your social media and spread the word and try to get it in front of the people who need the help - because sometimes the dogs/cats/animals are left behind because the family literally doesn't know who to turn to for help and they are in the middle of a panic situation and aren't thinking clearly. You can't change the small number of shitty people out there that do terrible things on purpose. But you can help the people who don't know what to do or how to save their pets when the choice is "do I save my kid or my pet?". It seems ridiculous, but sometimes that's the kind of choice that they think they have to make and so they leave their pet behind. It's very easy to judge these situations when you are not in them. But people are only human. All we can ask of them is to do their best and help point them towards resources that can help them do that.
      One such organization is the Cajun Navy. They are an ad hoc rescue group of private boat owners who tiller around flood areas saving both people and pets who didn't have the means or ability to leave the flood zones.

    This just makes me even more worried for my very stubborn Grandpa who lives directly in the path of the hurricane and refuses to evacuate. I sincerely hope it's just a few feet of water...

    Awesome job! Instead of showing the guy faking the winds outside this is the way to do it.

    His voice... Never heard it like that before, he sounds like he's extremely nervous but tries to sound calm

    Kudos to the Graphic/Animation Designer of this clip, some people, don't really understand what 6ft or 9ft storm surge really means,... This should be the default information video format for all storms in the future.

    I saw this yesterday and this should make anyone consider to evacuate. Thanks for posting.
