Potential “worst natural disaster on record for Carolinas”

Warning from meteorologist Joe Bastardi about hurricane Florence. Three to four feet (a meter or more) of rain in some places.

“Since Wednesday we have had this going inland over NC and then crawling into VA,” said Bastardi on Twitter. “Should this turn out correct, this is likely to be the worst natural disaster on record for Carolinas into VA Major hit combined with 3-4 feet of rain in some places over 3-4 day period.”

The Weather Channel confirms that this will be “a major hurricane.”
