Hanna’s getting it together in a hurry. The 2PM advisory took it to the threshold of hurricane force — a 70 MPH tropical storm. It’s also started heading north at 20, a bit earlier than the forecast track first pegged it, too — which may have implications for the forecast track at 5PM.
So far there’s been some decent, if short-lived, rain, heavy at times through the area. Bands have stopped and started — typical of a tropical system. A third squall is about to come on shore now; these will increase in frequency and strength as time goes on. Nothing out of the ordinary so far, though. Post some of your observations in comments — I’m curious to see what you’re seeing.
Radar is rolling in the Charleston Weather broadcast, and I’ll have skycam shots at times too. Back to the air I go…
Discussion of 2PM: Hanna headed to hurricane strength again is now closed
Exactly as you described it. Two squalls downtown. Second one lasted about 20 minutes, flooded intersection of Rutledge and Simons Street.
Call / DM if you need anything.
Pretty dead over here in Mt. Pleasant. Cloudy, but no wind or rain.
So far rain, but no heavy rain, here in Shadowmoss from the squall lines. The wind is quite quiet at the moment.
