Hats off to Jamaica for taking Melissa on the chin like that. There aren’t hundreds or thousands dead like I feared.

For as long as I live, I will never forget Melissa. What a storm!

At this point Melissa is gonna complete an ERC before this World Series game ends

Let’s thank those hurricane hunters who are risking their lives by flying into the hurricane without being paid.

There is no such thing as a “higher end” category 5. It can go to 1000 mph and still not be “higher end.”

Watching horrible commentary about a wobble being “The hurricane is now moving east.” People have no idea how hurricanes like this behave.

If we’re going to go big, might as well go big. Let’s break Allen’s record!

I remember we went decades without a category 5. Now it's a regular occurrence. Incredible.

Is it me or does it look like it’s weakening just a hair?

Horrific for Jamaica

ERC cancel

This is definitely a good soaking from the city east. Winds are there, but not extreme.

This is a reverse weenie suicide.

Is it true that Joe Bastadi called this the storm of the century earlier this week?

I don;t understand the physics of how Humberto kicks the other system into the east coast.

It's so quiet meteorologically right now in so many areas. Only interesting action going is waterspouts on the Great Lakes!

Had to look at the calendar today. Is it August or October? Odd

270 hr GFS take a 983 messofacane into Long Island. We shall see.

Man, may the day where you don’t get psyched but a huge thunderstorm maturing over you dumping loads of rain with frequent thunder and lightning never excite you never arrive.

Top 10 thunderstorms ever! This was BEAUTIFUL. Sad there were no 'nados.

Im by the WTC - can't see 10 feet. FREQUENT lightning. Pouring rain. The subways are going to be gone. This is INSANE.

This is an INSANE storm!!!

Yeah, I think we should begin evacuations now. Ecacuate where? Who cares?! Just evaciate!

You see this?! SE Area of Interest! Ten percent in two days, twenty percent in five! What is this, a weather forecast or a scratch-off ticket?! Ten percent?! That’s not a forecast, that’s a suggestion! You can’t get me worked up over something with worse odds than me getting a date on a Saturday night! And twenty percent in five days?! What am I supposed to do with that information? Stock up on bottled water, but only drink a fifth of it? Keep one galosh by the door, just in case? These meteorologists….. they put out these ‘Areas of Interest’ so we’ll all go, ‘Oooh, something’s coming!’ Meanwhile it’s a little puff of cloud in the middle of nowhere. I’m getting anxiety over a moist spot on the radar! And you know what’s gonna happen? Day six—poof! Gone! Back to tracking tropical waves in Chad! CHAD! The only waves in Chad should be in a swimming pool!”
