border bring carolina miles models shore winds
One or more of the (forecast) models bring it on shore (along) the Georgia-South Carolina border with winds of, perhaps, 50 miles an hour.
carolina causing heavy moving north outer strong winds
It is now moving away from the North Carolina Outer Banks. It is still causing strong winds and heavy rain.
cause close hurricane north winds
Not that we think it's going to make landfall. We don't. But we think it's going to come close enough to cause hurricane winds ... on North Carolina.
gets land
Once it gets over land, it'll probably just become a Nor'easter.
beats coast fear people period pushes storm water winds worse
The fear of a stall is that it makes the storm surge much larger, because it sits there and pushes water up on the coast for a long time. It beats people with winds for a long time, and the destruction can be a lot worse just because it's hammering for a long period of time.
concerned far georgia northern primarily west
We're very much concerned about the coast, primarily Georgia and the Carolinas, but it could still be even as far west as northern Florida. It's erratic. It could do something weird.
category origin system
The origin of the system is being better organized, and more like your classical-looking hurricane. It could go back to a category 3 storm.
eventually inches next rio rivers three
We've had (rain) accumulations of as much as 25 inches in some locations. We're going to see that show up in the rivers for the next two or three days, eventually into the Rio Grande.
hope might miss
There's a glimmer of hope that it might miss the whole coastline altogether.
beginning miss models
There's some glimmer of hope. Some of the (computer) models are beginning to show that it may miss the coast.
actual concerned depending storm
Storm surge (in coastal areas) could be a real problem, depending on where the actual landfall is. That's the thing we are most concerned about.
concerned days four heavy looking pleasant rain three
We're concerned about the very heavy rainfall over most of Florida. We're looking at three or four days of heavy rain down here, accumulations of up to 20 inches. It's not going to be a pleasant time.
concerned strengthen stretch
We're concerned about a big stretch of the coast. And, possibly, (Bonnie) could strengthen a little more before it makes landfall.
natural
It's as natural as day for us to be here.
