Meteorologists are warning that Hurricane Florence could be the "Harvey of the east coast," dumping record rains and triggering unprecedented flooding. The scenario for Hurricane Florence is a similar one, meteorologists are extremely worried about a ridge of high-pressure sitting just off the coast of New England. What this high-pressure system will do is prevent Hurricane Florence from veering off toward New England and back out to sea. As Hurricane Florence makes landfall, the winds will die down but the rain will continue to fall. Much like Hurricane Harvey, Florence is looking like a prolonged deluge of rain over North Carolina.
