bbc weather's chris fawkes. we saw the cbs report understanding and sunshine with no wind.f the hurricanes that hit the caribbean last year we went from bad to full on hurricane force winds and the space of less than 2a hours. it can change quickly for sure. that is the classic calm before the storm. show us how we're doing. this is hate it. let's animate this. this is florence at the moment. we've got the eye in the middle of the storm and we are expecting this to strengthen further in the next 2a hours with the winds picking up to 150 mph, gus up to 185 miles an hour. it is still on a track towards this kind of north carolina where it will probably make landfall. along the northern flank we will get the significant storm surge were the hurricane essentially raises up and just slams in land. we are talking about coastal inundation, damaging disru ptively. the peak strength mightjust ease a little bit before it makes landfall. but then we're also talking about 80 cm rain coming in land. you can see from the storm track actually, that the hurricane gets a little bit slower a

bbc weather‘s chris fawkes joins us. what about florence? this is florence.e. that is on a five—point scale. it is forecast to get even stronger than that, we are talking that sustained winds of 150 miles per hour. that is forecast to track towards the coastline of north carolina and probably quite late on thursday, thursday evening. it is the combination of the damaging destructive winds as well as a massive storm surge and that is where the ocean is lifted up and slammed into the coastline on the northern side of the hurricane. it is also the mid atlantic states affected. and also torrential rain. it isa affected. and also torrential rain. it is a triple whammy in many respects. you have marked three storms. yes, there are some others. this one isn't looking as well—defined, but this is also a hurricane, isaac. one of the ironies with arrogance is that they hate strong winds —— the ironies with hurricanes. we think this one will go to the leeward islands and then further out in the pacific we have another system which looks like being a good call for the st
