I've been streaming it at work but it just went blank. Might've lost Naples.... Eta I see they're still posting up still shots, maybe just bandwidth issues with everybody streaming. Can't believe those two structures are still intact!

What would kuchera ratios be?

If it takes that path Bastardi is going to be living off his call for like the next 15yrs. Probably even put Ian's name on his tombstone alongside Sandy.

I'm afraid to go check WB, JB must be basking in all his glory. To his credit he was very early to call a Tampa hit and didnt waiver even when the models were shifting westward.

JB is all over this hurricane like stink on shit. Will be interesting to see if it comes in north of Tampa. My wife goes to Tampa a lot...I hate Tampa with a passion. Time will tell.

Booooooom

You're a boss

Great moons of Neptune...47F here right now. I'm actually chilly since I left all the windows open.

That's gorgeous. Sometimes I take for granted how beautiful the bay can be. Shots like this remind me to appreciate where we live.

Ok , then strike out wife and replace with husband in my post.

Cool, you win. Best of luck. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

Really boss? Winning the $900MM Powerball compared to losing your family and livelihood? I give up. Hopefully you never have to deal with the reality of losing everything in a few seconds due to weather. You sound really inexperienced in life, like when I was in my 20s and was convinced that everything bad that happened to somebody else was because of their lack of bootstraps.

I should add, that's a gorgeous place to be riding things out. Keep an eye out for Jim Cantore.

Good luck. jB said the same thing, an historic storm.

JB more and more confident of the Florida hit. Coming in just north of Tampa would be devastating. I bust on JB but the dude does love to sniff out hurricanes. Fwiw.

Yes even Benson is a severe weather lover . Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

Wow an intense wind coming through here. Very cool on the backside. I love it!

I don't know that dude. I guess if his wife and kids (assuming he has any) don't care if he gets his skull smashed in and his long bones shredded to bits for the sake of "furthering the field" then more power to him.

We're cool. The fact that you know about Yellowstone is good enough for me. Now imagine if the deccan traps were to blow, how bad a day would that be? Ask the dinosaurs. My only point to members of this forum is to really consider how a tornado or derecho or hurricane could really change the course of your life. Think loss of life, insurance claims on roofing or siding, a large tulip poplar crashing into your bedroom, etc. 48" snowstorm??? Yeah I'm there for that. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

I don't disagree. .but hoping for that sort of thing? That was the whole point of my post. It's so scary and life changing.

I don't have any problem, I lust for a 36" snowstorm like anybody else here. But real severe weather, tornadoes, derechos, hurricanes have the capability to really destroy lives. Maybe I'm paying karma too much credit but I don't want to deal with that shit again. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

I don't disagree. I come from the Midwest where tornadoes destroy whole communities and we practice monthly tornado drills in elementary school. But don't tell me that when an EF5 is bearing down on your house you're gonna be tracking it via radarscope or something. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

I call bullshit. If an EF5 tornado hits your house you're going to be crying and hoping your wife and kids aren't killed and you're going to be crying and depressed when everything you valued in life was completely destroyed in 10 seconds.

Was that the year of the complete JMA meltdown capitulation? I can't remember. I felt so bad for him.

Do people actually hope for a direct hurricane hit here? I feel like the only people who would want that are city apartment dwellers or young people who have never experienced just how destructive and life changing 100mph winds and 10" of rain are (and bank account draining). Noreasters are one thing but hurricanes are in another league.
