First—listen to your state & local news. EVACUATE if you’re mandated. Don’t leave your pets behind.
I worked on the rescue efforts after Harvey & Irma. I spoke to people on dying phones who didn’t evacuate. They required rescue from rooftops.

Many focus on hurricane wind speed and eye placement - which are important - but most hurricane-related deaths occur from storm surge and inland flooding.
#Florence is projected to hit land as a major hurricane and then SIT. It’s a worst-case flooding scenario similar to Harvey.

The most dangerous side of a hurricane is the “dirty” side, aka the one subjected to the most rainfall.
North of the equator, that is the NE side of a hurricane.
Because of these storms’ counterclockwise rotation, moisture from the ocean is cycled onto land as rain.

With #Florence, models of its size and potential placement show the storm to have a “dirty” side that encompasses DC, major military installations on the Virginia coast, and the entire Chesapeake Bay region.
It extends well all the way up the highly-populated New Jersey coast.
