Hurricane Florence - 8 AM forecast update

trying to figure out how bad conditions will be in Wilmington NC - its not easy to figure out from NWS

Wilmington NWS says this - Major Hurricane Florence is forecast to reach our area Thursday into
Friday. Depending on the exact path the storm takes, significant or
even catastrophic impacts from wind and flooding rain are possible.
It is critical that you monitor the latest forecasts on this
developing weather situation.

Generally they want everyone to monitor NWR and they say little else 
- there is no mention of the destruction of buildings

Looking here - https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at1+shtml/093018.shtml?cone#contents
- the first H on the map is not labeled - I will assume that is 2 PM Thursday - then
it seems that Wilmington will have sustained winds of 74 to 110 MPH from 
approx 2 PM Thurs to 2 PM Friday (a 24 hour period)
