Yeah, unfortunately, it seems everything operationally is verifying on the ground. I am hopeful many lives were saved by residents heeding the advanced warnings. They had several days to plan. It will still be a miracle if the death count doesn't rise, however, despite the more densely populated areas in eastern Jamaica avoiding the eyewall. As you can see in the imagery, there are an overwhelming number of structures deroofed, walls down, or completely destroyed.
Any major flooding reports from this?

Well, it has now been 10 winters since our last KU-HECS type storm, so there ya go! I don't know what the "average" time is between such events, but I think historically it's been less than that(?).
From 1990-2016 the trend of every 6-7 years was remarkably consistent. As was the trend of getting a footer every 3-4 years. But since then that hasn't meant jack diddly, smh. No reason to bank on it happening until, well...it happens, lol Tbh I wouldn't even want to entertain the idea of the WDI finally winning until we roll the dice with a niño again!

The system clearing as quick as it did is really good news for Halloween festivities - kid and adult. And extra good news for those us who will be lining up for the Billy Strings concert. Super happy we won't be getting poured on.
Looks like it spared some foliage as well!

Eye is clearing out again and -80c tops wrapping around the Southern half of the CDO. Guess my hallowed out core post was off base lol.

Something told me this storm wasn't gonna just lay down. There's just something about epic storms like this--they just break the rules, lol

And the vortices near the surface. So pretty
Are those the little things you see at the center there? (I think I recognize the shape from satellite images)

Last dropsondes suggests Melissa has peaked/leveled off with the 895 mb 7 kt. Not going to matter much at this point though as far as Jamaica though.
"Leveling off" at 895 mb goodness gracious....

Latest sonde: 902mb w/ 22kt wind. Melissa is on the cusp of going sub 900mb.
When's the last time that happened this close to landfall?

I'll be pissed if they trade him, but that's the word among the pundits. Again, this is a Harbaugh thing. "He is the odd man out". Oh fuck off with that crap. Hopefully he is out after this season, although I doubt it.
I still think Harbaugh might just "retire". To me he just doesn't seem to have the energy and just seems "old" in the sidelines interviews and presses. I cannot imagine Biscotti is happy with what's going on--and just because he hasn't said anything publicly doesn't necessarily mean approval (he seems to prefer to stay rather quiet during the season).

ETA: the WDI is pretty strong for at least one traditional good coastal storm that puts down a large blanket of warning totals through the MA and NE. We really are due for something like that.
Wouldn't a scenario like that be more likely for Philly.to NE though? Hard to see us getting warning snowfall from a coastal in a nina. I mean the same dynamic is at play each time, isn't it?

I'd be a little surprised if they face any punishment. This sounds nore like a dumb oversight than anything intentional.

Harbaugh lol. He was exposed this morning by Rapoport. Lamar ran the scout team yesterday.
Ha...well the funny thing is, in his usual fashion, he never said Lamar was playing so he's covered, lolol
