I think this qualifies as the lid coming off. Four hurricanes and two majors in less than 10 days. All of our peak activity has come since September 8.
Agree. Octobers are underrated when it comes to climatology.-

Kirk is now a major hurricane, making it the third major of the season. Once the depression in the Eastern Atlantic gets a name, we will have another named storm and if that becomes a hurricane, we could have 12/8/3 by next week.

Would have been the SE quadrant based on storm motion, most likely the ESE inner edge of eyewall band, when it had its most intense echoes while intersecting the shoreline. This flow coming off the north side of Deadman Bay. This would have been just NW of Steinhatchee within the Big Bend Wildlife Management Area. Nobody was there to record or document it, of course, unless they were recording on the back end route, Beach Road. At least that we yet know about.
Yeah, I suppose southeastern rather than northeastern. One thing clearly obvious from recon just before landfall was how lopsided the intensity was. The eastern side had Category 4 sustained winds, while the western side had extremely low weak winds in comparison.

Filled out a missing person report for my son in Ashville, NC. I last heard from him Friday at 1:30 PM. He said he was on the second floor of his home and cut off from everything because of flood water and debris. The situation there is beyond dire.
Sending my prayers and hoping for a positive update soon

I am assuming that the highest maximum sustained winds were likely in a very tiny area in the very northeastern side of the eyewall at the immediate coast. My guess is 130 to 140 mph over the wetlands between Steinhatchee and Perry.

I’m still surprised because the eye is not really impressive at all. But she seems to still be strengthening I guess.
Sometimes storms get that way. I remember Harvey had a messy ragged eye, Irma after leaving Cuba, but as long as those pressures are falling and the winds respond, sometimes the strongest ain't the prettiest.

Can anyone post some good radar links?

Question -
Watching Governor Desantis press conference on Fox Live Now, and they have two webcams and a radar on the side of the screen. Anyone know the location of this cam/bridge?
.I think that top one was near Fort Myers.

Major Hurricane Milton
in Tropical Headquarters
Posted
Steering current usually have to be really strong to yank a system out from near the Bay of Campeche. Milton will be very lucky that there should be just enough influence to do so.
