  1. Unfortunately, I see what the poster is saying.
  2. Well you are just assuming now, but the earlier posts of just warning the whole cone would do far more harm than good.
  3. Well, it typically is not the most reliable.
  4. I woke up yesterday and couldn't believe it.
  5. If anybody called for a 20mb drop before landfall...I'll buy you the next round.
  6. That would cause way too many false alarms and then social science comes in. "They said we would get a hurricane before and we never did so I am staying."
  7. NHC was in a tough spot. After guidance started tilting the possibility of landfall to the SE on Monday....you can't just abandon Tampa either with such a large, vulnerable population. And guidance other than Ukie, did not show this until 18z Monday.
  8. The forecasts and the possible landfall due to the cone were different though. That is nobody's fault...just pointing it out. Sure the cone maybe said landfall could occur on the outer edge of it, but they were only under a TS warning.
  9. Still can't believe I had snow blowing off the roof in the middle of the day in that one.
  10. I hope the Sheriff is wrong, but that is a densely populated county. I saw people posting pictures of lots of people staying...having a margarita etc and waiting the storm out. Who knows.
  11. Someone probably couldn't see it or something maybe. Who knows. It could be damaged too. I've been there twice, I know exactly where that is. That whole area is a treasure. So sad.
  12. That is just awful news is true, and totally presentable.
  13. Was estimated 13’ FMY beach and likely higher.
  14. Still on the "weaker part" of eyewall.
  15. Winds probably from E-SE at Cape Coral. That will shift to SW as eye moves in and maybe just to NW. That's when it gets real.
  16. Possible that strongest winds north of worst surge which I suppose is a slightly better outcome?
