Enjoy it thru tomorrow it's only a dream after. At this point in my life it's more about the storms than retention, my winter sports days are over but man the beauty today is unmatched. I can't imagine staring at highways and buildings after seeing what we see today. Just spectacular 

Wow amazing <3

It has a small core going over a super populated area and it's going to meander there for a bit

I'm by no means downplaying that. Aside from a limited surge, the situation is dire. It's just a person has good odds, even avoiding injury, sheltering in a solid structure. If a slope gives way into the same described structure. Well, it's not good either way, but to the point, it's far more difficult to survive the latter.

I don't even know if the surge is going to be that limited that bay is looking like a prime catcher's mitt for this path

Also can’t forget flooding as the rain is squeezed out by the higher elevations.

Yes, generally, the surge isn't going to be the most dangerous aspect of Otis, despite it being a Cat 5. It has a small core. Winds will be devastating within the eyewall, especially for elevated structures on sloped terrain. And, of course, mudslides, which still remain the greatest threat to life regardless of catastrophic wind.

Needs to plow due N to spare the worst damage at this point. Last second left turn (aka NHC track) would actually be a huge negative.

Looks like the turn has started. Going right into the city

Massively overdeveloped in a catastrophe waiting to happen when there's the Cat 5 they're due for. 

Why would the buildings there be more susceptible than the buildings in Fort Lauderdale or Miami

And OT, but it's becoming more inhabited every year with bigger apartment/condo buildings going up, literally on a big sand dune. It's becoming the Pompano Beach of NY. It's nuts. 

What happened in Pompano Beach

mappy!

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. 

This is a CAT 5
