  1. Ian is going to produce much more inland wind than charley. Charley was falling apart as it crossed Orlando and was much smaller. Orlando easily sees those gusts (and over three times as long in duration) with this one I think.
  2. Ian already showing the difference between he and Charley. Its one thing dealing with 150 mph winds.....a whole other thing dealing with that and tsunami like storm surges. the reverse surge out of Tampa Bay is wild. Historic storm, no other way to describe it.
  3. Never seen such violent motion with convection on infrared loops before. Wild ass hurricane man.
  4. Several instantaneous winds measured in the 130s and 140s in both north and south eyewall
  5. Unreal intensification going on right now
  6. I am guessing by the flight pattern recon wants to taste that new convective burst.
  7. Excellent Radar presentation. Satellite presentation will follow soon.
  8. The trough interaction has made this an absolute monster of a storm. This one will be the benchmark strike for SW FL.
  9. The monster hot tower being ejected wnw south of the eye is absolutely wild to see. Monster hot tower on the west side. Insane trough interaction creating a wild outflow jet to the north. The Freak show is about to start I think.
  10. The season is not over. I don’t know how else to illustrate to people this point. It’s maddening
  11. Season already has been disastrous. Members who still talk about seasonal busts should be 5-posted instantly.
  12. Seeing this continually slide NNE-NE and constantly be on the right hand side of the guidance even after said guidance corrects east is very unnerving.
  13. Excellent call by the NHC. Nuclear core development going on right now.
  14. I see a deep trough that is digging and a rapidly intensifying hurricane directly to its south. I am having a hard time seeing this getting further west.
  15. Ian is cranking right now....might be taking advantage of some land interaction tightening the circulation up. For the first time in its life deep convection surrounds the eye.
  16. Latest Euro is a punishing strike to the West Coast of Florida. Lots of wind, surge, and flooding damage.
  17. Torch Tiger is going to win. Never even considered picking the keys
  18. Here come the east shifts.......Knew it was coming. Its the same thing that happens to storms that are recurving off the east coast....they always trend east.
  19. Not THAT gutsy. When I say just south, I'm basically saying the eye could go over Tampa considering angle of approach. I'm more of the belief the trough tugs this further east than being modeled (and kind of being verified right now in real time as its a bit east of the forecast track). Even a further south solution is not a large track error (50 miles means much more in this case than typical 90 degree approach).
  20. This is as dicey of a situation as you can get for Tampa. I still think it comes in just south but Jesus its gonna be close.
  21. Windfield is greatly expanded with a second wind maxima already detected
  22. I am watching that giant curved band on the north side very closely. Lots of motion in those cells suggesting that we might have large core developing.
  23. Oh yeah i'm firing up the IPAs and getting ready for a show tonight. Ian going nuts
