It's huge, it's dangerous, and it's going to hit.

| Sandbags surround beachside homes in North Carolina, after forecasters predicted 4-metre storm surges. |
Barring a meteorological miracle, Hurricane Florence is on track to make landfall on the US east coast somewhere along South or North Carolina around Friday morning Australian time.
It's packing winds of more than 200 kilometres an hour, and forecasters warn it threatens to create a storm surge that in some places will reach 4 metres high.
That's easily enough to overwhelm many low-lying islands and beachfront areas.
While all that sounds bad, and it is, it may not be the worst of it.
Read the story from ABC News by Peter Harvey - “Hurricane Florence could bring massive amounts of rain, devastating floods to the Carolina coast.”
