#HurricanceFlorence is a "Cascading Disaster" in scholarly speak. Wind & storm surge then rising rivers & massive flooding. Now toxic environmental hazards.

Dept of GPE @EastCarolina meteorology faculty on impacts of #HurricaneFlorence #HurricaneFlorence2018 Con't: Maybe 5 ft surge over the next 2 days @GreenvilleGov that backs up the creeks and runs. At the coast, Topsail Island will get an 8-10ft surge.
Check FIMAN ( ) for areas that might flood during #HurricaneFlorence #HurricaneFlorence2018 Uses river basins flood stage in connection with rainfall. Info from @EcuPlanning @EastCarolina Used during #HurricaneMatthew by @GreenvilleGov to predict flooding.
Classes @EastCarolina cancelled from 09/11 noon till 09/17. Campus closed. Super busy College Hill drive & Brewster area all but deserted. Flood lot closed off. Calm before #HurricaneFlorence #HurricaneFlorence2018
