Hurricane Florence
Maximum winds from #Florence have decreased, but don't let that fool you. This "weakening" only refers to maximum winds. The wind field has expanded and rainfall/storm surge potential are still at catastrophic levels.https://t.co/meemB5uHAR pic.twitter.com/IRiuxeVeUf

Warm water will continue to fuel Hurricane Florence, while it weakened a bit Wednesday it could get stronger again. Not only is the water warm, it is warmer than normal which is a concern. https://t.co/0G77zZfveH

Here it comes. Influence of Florence, wind, wave height, and pressure showing up on NOAA buoy 200 miles southeast of Wilmington. Another buoy (right) adrift west of Bermuda started transmitting again after the 34 foot waves woke it up. pic.twitter.com/tdXqlH6B9D

Wave heights to 83 ft were measured early this morning under the NE quadrant of Hurricane Florence. These enormous waves are produced by being trapped along with very strong winds moving in the same direction the storm's motion. #HurricaneFlorence https://t.co/26J6Uogt6o pic.twitter.com/mdjGD5yibg
