The tree is fine thank God. I got 15 avocados here inside, only a few stubborn ones left on the tree. 

I was just out there remarking on how these are definitely the highest winds of the day. The wind is roaring through the trees and I'm hearing the hurricane howl every few minutes. Indeed, a site on the coast in Ft Lauderdale just recorded 66 MPH. https://mesowest.utah.edu/cgi-bin/droman/meso_base_dyn.cgi?stn=AU497&unit=0&timetype=GMT

Things really intensifying as this primary convective band moves in. I think we could reach hurricane force in the coming hour once this band moves in. Also tremendous potential for flooding, it is at the exact right configuration to train over us. 

P.S. Recon confirms that the nice looking eye feature that is about to make landfall in the Keys only has winds of 40-50 MPH. The real action is up here in Dade/Broward/Palm Beach. I think recon will fly through this band and check it out. 

Will recon find something juicy or will the dirty north side be a let down?

i thought we decided that subtropical hurricanes arent a real thing

Well as far as coming out of the Gulf, Eta never regained hurricane status.

With the lack of convection, is ETA showing more subtropical characteristics?

ETA is heading to an area of lower terrain in Cuba, trying to thread the needle.
