Florence probably will not be the coastal disaster it could have been. Apparently a large body of warm water off the SC / NC coasts on the first week of September was no longer as warm. So Florence weakened.
Wave heights on serious storms (ie Frying Pan Shoals) was 30 feet. Except for some 20 something waves far north on Frying Pan Shoals, waves across the region (and even near the eye) have been 15 feet or less.
Expect coastal damage to not have been as severe as originally feared. And residents will mock those warnings; ignore future ones.
Frying Pan Light tower had long since been abandoned due to maintenance deficiencies (over a decade ago) and with no future purpose.
Next learn how much rain really does fall and how many SC towns could not be bothered to let good engineering practice occur in their infrastructure.
