    Down by Akron our estimates are usually a little overestimated so I will expect more in the range of 2 to 3 inches down here.

    I am closer to Akron, but the local NWS seems to have backed off a bit on winds thankfully. Nevertheless, areas northeast towards Geauga, and Lake counties could still see some accumulations. I am a little surprised at the hype about this one, and I wonder how much of it has to do with the insane accumulations seen in Ashtabula last week.

    Yeah I think it will be a good reminder that winter is soon upon us, but nothing overly significant.

    1932 was the year my Grandmother was born. She is 92 years old. Her name is Sara.

    I am bullish on this one...

    I wouldn't doubt another system in mid to late November. This is a definite backlogged hurricane season.

    Storm surge is different because of so many factors. I remember we didn't see the dreaded storm surge with Hurricane Charley, even though it hit Charlotte Harbor, FL as a 150 mph Category 4 hurricane, because it was so tiny, fast moving and was only a Category 4 for about two hours prior to landfall. Hurricane Ian was the same intensity and the exact same landfall location, but was much, much larger in size, slower moving, and had hours and hours as a Category 4 and 5 to build the disastrous storm surge.

    Agree on the size. I was thinking (and so was the NHC early on) that Milton would become a much larger hurricane. Eventually, the tropical storm wind expanded out, but the hurricane force winds never really grew more than 30 miles or so from the eye. Helene had the hurricane winds extending 60 miles, and Ian had them extending out 50 miles. I also think Ian’s 150 mph winds and Helene’s 140 mph winds are a big difference from Milton’s small weakening 115-120 mph winds.

    I am impressed that the weakening slowed so much this evening. Looks like the eye is going a slight northeast wobble right now.

    Agree. Way north of Charley and Ian. Looks like Tampa might actually have their first direct strike since 1921.

    I'm guessing this comes in around 115 mph. Water still the biggest threat, although these twisters are causing a lot of damage.

    Hurricane force winds still only extend out thirty miles from the center. Wow. I wonder if maybe it will stay smaller and stronger and further south rather than larger and weaker and further north?
  23. Floydbuster
    They don't seem confident in exact landfall or intensity yet, and I don't blame them.
  24. Floydbuster
    I am surprised how small Milton still is, I wonder if that could maybe lessen the extent of the storm surge if it doesn't expand the wind field much in the next 24 hours.
