37 miles off the Coast of Cape Fear, North Carolina is a former Coast Guard tower that has been transformed into a bed and breakfast called the Frying Pan Tower. Working with the B&B owner and non profit, Teens for Oceans, the underwater webcams observe the marine ecosystem where Sharks, Barracuda and even an occasional Octopus slither past.Spectacular vistas abound in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Really? That's not calm at all, and it is 34 miles offshore

Well not calm, but not 20 ft. seas either given the location. And it's 37 miles offshore

Yeah I saw! She needs to landfall and stay on land before we'll know where she's headed later.

Yes, Joanne, I found a buoy reading of 23' wave heights offshore... hope there are no boats out there!

Fished for Blues off Montauk Point. Swells were about 15 feet. Spent half the time doing the Technicolor yawn.

Wow that's crazy all those people stayed what viidiots in the words of ren and stimpy. On another note euro still steadfast on a stronger low remnant over the area 997mb in NYC harbor. Nhc has shifted cone recurve south and nhc has added a 5-10% box for ts force winds to the area and all north east. Could get interesting in 3 or 4 days.

Agree 100% Mom.What I have learned from this hurricane is that many more deaths are as a result of water rather than wind.That was a fact Lee Goldberg brought up.He and others I saw, were reporting that dry air would get involved and knock down the wind speeds as the storm reached the coast.Maybe that was detrimental in that people may have made the decision foolishly to stay.That's just a conjecture on my part.The forecasters repeated many times that this storm would dump catastrophic amounts of rain and a huge storm surge as a result of the geography of the NC coastline.Mandatory is no joke, people should all have gone.It's so true about the first responders lives being at risk due to the foolishness of those who decided to stay.

Not that it's coming up here, but it gives me a chance for a couple of my ideas to have merit. We shall see. At work, so I cannot discuss deeply to what im referring, but basically my predicted landfall point as well as ideas I presented a couple days ago. Be back later!
Damn Ray You beat me to it. I wanted post that and give you kudos. Frictional forces, Convergence over land, lowering pressures...I remember![]()
Well, thank you, Scott haha if somebody can post an animation of the microwave imagery, they can see that the ideas did prove to have merit. As Florence encountered the coastline, it actually did move northward along the coast before landfalling, and to my knowledge, NO model had shown that. This is not to brag, but instead to show how forecasters can still add a lot of value over raw model output, and how meteorology is much greater than modelology.

The Mets and media warned everyone. There is literally no excuse. Evacuations began on Monday. That's how confident they were this storm will come. You can't fix stupid. I hope they're rescued, but if conditions for rescuers become dangerous, then what are they to do?
