    Light snow in Silver Spring. Roads were covered this morning but clear now. Around 0.75" accumulation on the deck. Thermometer reading 29F.

    Michael crushed extreme SW GA. Both of my parents' families are from Seminole County, and they got 110+ MPH winds out of Michael, with corresponding damage. Also, even though it's not a hurricane, it would take A LOT to overtake the damage caused by TS Alberto in 1994. That one made landfall at Destin, tracked across AL and GA and parked in north GA for days, causing catastrophic flooding downstream in SW GA.

    Does anyone have a good webcam in the Keys? Looks like they're getting some action.

    Also hearing some in Silver Spring just now. That’s after at least 10 minutes of all snow.

    Finally seeing flakes in Silver Spring. And it didn’t take long to transition to all snow. Can I make a request: Please put your location in the body of your reply. You can’t see locations mobile.

    I just saw, like, seven flakes in Silver Spring. That's something.

    Heaviest snow so far in close-in Silver Spring. Fat flakes and wind.

    Untreated roads are caving very quickly in Silver Spring (just in the beltway). Moderate snow right now. Hey, what’s everyone’s favorite mobile-friendly radar site?

    Silver Spring, Md., just inside the Beltway. Roads are done and snow is starting to come in sideways.

    I'm more concerned about areas like LaPlace, which has seen a lot of development recently and is prone to flooding, and petrochemical alley including the huge refinery in Garyville. I know those facilities are built to withstand a lot, but they are so far inland, were they ever counting on this type of wind?

    Here's Google street view from about where the storm is now (between Montegut and Galliano). It's....pretty flat and watery.

    The Jokko guy just said 153 mph sustained and max gust of 177, which seems more reasonable that some of his earlier statements.

    Unreal. We should make spacecraft out of whatever that camera is made of.

    I feel like I just lost a friend. RIP, beast camera.

    It's basically the largest. Port Fourchon currently services over 90% of the Gulf of Mexico's deepwater oil production. There are over 600 oil platforms within a 40-mile radius of Port Fourchon. This area furnishes 16-18% of the US oil supply. So get ready for a bump at the pump over the next few weeks.

    You aren't lying. I lived in Albany, Ga. during TS Alberto in 1994. It took a much different path (well into the Gulf, coming ashore in Destin), but it also slowed and dropped unreal amounts of water on middle and north Georgia. In fact, if you were to move that CMC precipitation path about 75 miles to the west, that's what we got. What resulted was truly catastrophic river flooding a few days later. More than half of a large town with standing water, which meant no electricity, in S. Georgia, in July. Unfun.
