  1. Freezing the ground solid and then putting several inches of rain into it with a rapid thaw def decreases the amount of force it takes to knock things over.
  2. That was really intense (about 40 min ago). Power outage and extra traffic on my road which usually happens only if some other road is closed.
  3. I don't see any evidence of Punta Gorda underwater based on live video throughout the event. The winds have not aligned to push water up Charlotte Harbor.
  4. Periwinkle & Casa Ybel East right on the edge of the eyewall.
  5. Had a family member trying to convince friends to leave from there yesterday. Whole neighborhood is below 10'.
  6. The obsession with the SS scale is tedious. This is a storm surge situation first, a few MPH either way in the wind estimates are not significant.
  7. In Charley it was a really small strip that got the worst of it and duration was short and there was virtually no storm surge. For cool videos of wind this thing won't touch Charley but I feel like the impact in the area is going to be worse for more people.
  8. Not the place where you want a big surge event happening. Most of the population lives below 15' asl and there are tons of canals and inland waterways.
  9. There was quite a social media mob on their press releases on fb yesterday.
  10. I don't exactly want bad things to happen but I feel drawn to watching them when they do. Part of me wants that big hurricane to hit a population center instead of going fishing. I think it's fair if people want to criticize that. I'm less than perfect in many other ways too.
  11. Cool that the storm was so close to the radar site that this 56kt sample was only 702' up.
  12. Got some small hail and wind from the bonus cell there.
  13. Not half bad. Of course it missed me to the north but has lots of lightning and big hail at least per radar.
  14. Looking forward to watching it skirt by to my north.
  15. 71 still here. Yesterday was about 10 degrees short of forecast. Seems like we'll repeat that.
  16. Seems I'm wedged between heavier snow north and south. Looks like about 1-2" accumulation. Wind is howling at times. 22f.
  17. If you haven't tried it check out Zardoz not wax. Works really well on that sticky snow. Like a total game changer on sticky snow.
