Storm surge built up over of several days, starting when #florence was a cat 4 or strong cat 3 storm. That "baked in” the roughly-10ft storm surge from Cape Hatteras to Myrtle Beach, NC.

Because warmer oceans mean more moisture in the atmosphere, "for each 1C of warming, there is about 7% more moisture in the air". #florencehurricane is generating about 10% more rainfall due to 1.5C-above-normal temps, increasing risk of additional inland flooding.
The destructive potential of a hurricane is the cube of wind speed. (News to me.) #florencehurricane had a 11% increase in wind speed due to warm water; that's a 33% increase in destructive potential.

Quelques précision sur l'impact de l'ouragan #Florence pour l'énergie aux Etats-Unis et dans le monde.
Pour répondre à une question qui m'a été posée : plusieurs centrales #nucléaires se trouvent sur le chemin de #Florence.
Les plus exposées sont les centrales de Brunswick, Robinson, VC Summer (la fameuse), Oconee, Catawba et McGuire.
A l'heure où l'on parle, ces centrales #nucléaires sont probablement toutes à l’arrêt. Le risque d'accident n'est pas nul mais il est très faible.
