Happy birthday Peter Criss 

Is a SWFE the same as the famed “Alberta Clipper”?

Hi everyone. Just having a discussion with a friend about tornadoes and he asked why Louisiana seems to not get tornadoes past EF3?. Can anyone speculate why that is? Thx 

Just darkened up and I had a brief sleet shower. Sun already out again 

Mildly surprised no dedicated storm thread for Friday into Saturday yet?

October is a terrible time (relatively) to see storms in FL

Yep. Last three FL October vacations I got nada

The Patriots should hire the squirrels as their new coordinators. That would take care of two problems 

A fair amount of lightning out over the water just south of Long Island

Are you there for the Rays postseason elimination parade???

Ha. Not a fan of theirs but hell of a game the other night. My wife wanted to see Tom Brady play 

I’m coming home Thursday morning so this would be a nice welcome home present 

82 sunny and glorious here in Tampa

But how are the IBM, Commodore 64, and TRS-80 models?  Still dry?

I fire up the ol’ Vic 20 when I need a forecast

Would not be surprised if later analysis moves this to a low end Cat 5.  

At this point I’d be surprised if they didn’t 

Pardon that interruption but is this rain all from the Ian remnants? I only ask because a few days ago it didn’t look like it would get within a thousand miles of SNE

Props to the ingenuity of this NBC reporter to keep the microphone dry.

I hope it’s not one of those lubricated ones. She might get electrocuted 

I think I’m going to pull the plug on my Tampa trip late next week. Those poor folks are gonna have their hands full

How can the pressure STILL be dropping in this now that it’s made landfall?

My wife and I stayed at the Sanibel Harbor and Beach resort a few years ago. Too lovely a place to have to go through this 

I can’t recall ever seeing a land falling hurricane with this incredible amount of lightning 

I’m headed to Clearwater in 10 days should be interesting how this evolves
