Made it back from king of Prussia. It's worse in Frederick than anywhere along I95, I70, I695. Glad I waited for 32 and rain before I left.
They are just starting to get Frederick cleaned up now.
I just want to see a good solid thump for a few hours. Back end will probably be too far north for us, not enough cold air for the closed low to tap at this latitude. IT will be interesting from the poconos to central ne though.
Josh measured 968mb unofficially and got in the eye, so it had a higher pressure than Florence at landfall and still had 120mph winds.
Seems the storm was able to shrink on final approach rather than weaken. And the cloud pattern didn't resemble a storm battling a lot of shear.
Concervative estimate especially with the SLP. Willa has a chance of beating Micheals intensity over open water. HWRF shows it weakening quite a bit on final approach to land.
I don't see why you need more size and power than a smartphone to measure wind speed, temp and pressure.
Edit: I forgot, sondes do all that and aren't that much larger than a phone.
Agreed even 12 hrs before landfall is enough time for a 940mb storm to strengthen or weaken 20mb, and there are ones that have done both. Makes it hard to be a forecaster.
So now we all agree there was no storm at all, these are crisis actors and the whole thing was staged, And even though there was no storm, the storm was created by HAARP.
