One or more of the (forecast) models bring it on shore (along) the Georgia-South Carolina border with winds of, perhaps, 50 miles an hour.
It is now moving away from the North Carolina Outer Banks. It is still causing strong winds and heavy rain.
That suggests that they're going to get strong winds (in Florida) and they're really going to get some strong surf out of this.
Not that we think it's going to make landfall. We don't. But we think it's going to come close enough to cause hurricane winds ... on North Carolina.
The fear of a stall is that it makes the storm surge much larger, because it sits there and pushes water up on the coast for a long time. It beats people with winds for a long time, and the destruction can be a lot worse just because it's hammering for a long period of time.
