This thing never quits. Can't imagine the horror stories we'll hear in the coming days of people clinging to a tree for 10 hrs.
-
Al Roker did it in 2005
-
So the backside was stronger with less videos from it?
-
Only about a 1.25ft difference between high and low
-
Looks like a storm weakening over land and not at all due to wind shear. I'm guessing the stationary front over NE FL has something to do with it's shear resistance since it's an unusual feature.
-
Life imitates overplayed gag
-
And winds aren't even out of the NW yet
-
Offshore side winning?
-
I'd much rather be a person in NJ who didn't evacuate for sandy than a person in Ft Myers that didn't evacuate for Ian. They're probably dropping like flys as we speak.
-
The storm surge started but the tsunami hasn't hit yet.
-
Took a little jog back north.. Looks like it will end up close to the forecast, which is unfortunate for many.
-
Eye finally clearing for real
-
That would be the most damaging surge since Katrina.
-
Got 4-6 hours until the outer eyewall starts to clip sanibel island. Center makes landfall between 18 and 21z.
-
The radar sites are pretty far away so only measuring winds well aloft. This also means there's no NWS radar site to wreck for once.
-
T7.2 if anyone cares. Same as Micheal.
-
Windshear is fired
-
Environmental pressure is running a bit high, so this is getting close to Hugo. A major at landfall looking likely at this point, unless it stalls just offshore while shear eats it alive.
-
Extrap down to 942 SFMR around 107kt, that's on the NW side of the eye.
-
In LA and MS where they made landfall it was a pretty similar track.
-
Bound to have been some RI due to conservation of angular momentum.
-
A good analog would be Katrina/Camille both took very similar tracks and had some different impacts due to the size difference.
-
The winds definitely ramped up based on radar presentation. Probably can confirm higher velocities on radar scope compared to 2 hrs ago. Clearly making a run at cat4 with a large eye
-
Definitely in beast mode now. IR is going to take a while to catch up to radar.
-
Not sure what recons doing. Flying north against the wind. That's not the way back to the eye.
