#Florence isn’t just another hurricane. It is poised to become a major threat to critical infrastructure and even national security.

Potentially historic flooding affecting power, major highways (including the I-95 corridor), access to food and water for millions of people, etc.
After its landfall, our best weather models continue to show an abject flooding catastrophe for North Carolina and Virginia.

As much as 48 inches of rain could fall. For perspective, that's almost *double* the previous all-time record for an East Coast hurricane.
Unfathomable. pic.twitter.com/uIph8LikKk
