9/12 Update:
허리케인이 상륙전에 세력이 다소 약해지긴 하지만 기사의 표현을 빌리자면 여전히 'Storm of a lifetime' 으로 SC 휴양지인 Myrtle Beach 에 토요일 정도 상륙 할것으로 보입니다.
States of emergency issued - SC, NC, VA, MD 총 4개 주로 늘어났고
Direct hit을 맞을 사우스 캐롤라이나 주는 해안가에 위치한 카운티들에 주민 대피령을 내려 오늘 오후부터 대피를 시작한다고 합니다.
CAT 5 최고등급으로 상륙할 가능성도 있어.. 캐롤라이나 주 주민 최대 백만명까지 대피할 수도 있다고 예상하고 있습니다..

This forecast cone, created around 5 a.m. ET Tuesday, shows the probable range of Florence's center for the next five days.
Hurricane Florence gained strength Monday in the Atlantic
9/10 Update:
현재 허리케인 Cat2등급으로 격상된 Florence가 등급 CAT 4로 목요일 오전에 캐롤라이나에 상륙 할것으로 보입니다.
그리고 현재 Florence에 이어 두개의 스톰이 트로피칼 스톰으로 formation을 시작해 서서히 접근중이라고 하네요
본격적인 허리케인 시즌이 시작될려나 봅니다.
9/6:
허레케인 시즌을 맞아 얼마전 트로피칼 스톰 고든이 걸프만을 덥쳤었는데요.
이번엔 본격적으로 major 급으로 Hurricane Florence 가 Cat3등급으로 다가오는 중이랍니다. 아마도 이번 주말이나 다음주 초에 상륙을 할 거 같아요
부디 별 피해 없이 지나 갔으면 하고 바랍니다..
Group of simulations from American (blue) and European (red) computer models from Wednesday night. Each color strand represents a different model simulation with slight tweaks to initial conditions. Note that the strands are clustered together where the forecast track is most confident, but they diverge where the course of the storm is less certain. The bold red line is the average of all of the European model simulations, while the blue is the average of all the American model simulations. (StormVistaWxModels.com)
