Hurricane Florence, My Final Thoughts

I have been a storm spotter/tracker since 1997 and I have seen, experienced and tracked some of the worst scenarios known to man. Hurricanes are by far the most destructive storms on the face of the planet. I have had personal experiences with more hurricanes then I care to remember. As destructive as they are, hurricanes are an important part of our eco-system. They are necessary to balance out the heat from the deep tropics and transfer some of that heat to the northern latitudes. Without this heat equalization, our climate could suffer even bigger consequences. Normally, hurricanes want to recurve out to sea, The rotation tries its best but sometimes big bubbles of air (High Pressure) get in the way and totally disrupt this process. That was the case with Florence. The position that Florence was located in the ocean has never in History produced a storm that made landfall. Most storms that affect the Carolinas come in more from a southerly angle through the Bahamas or just East of the Bahamas. The angle of approach for Florence was unprecedented.
