Tornado watch went up

Still a bit cloudy over in Enola but it does look like it's trying to clear out a bit. edit: nevermind I say that and the suns popping out now lol or at least trying to

100% can't stand how much Ryan Hall just clickbaits all the time to drive views. Because that's mostly what youtube and social media has devolved into. I've actually left comments sometime just blatantly explaining it to viewers because it's frustrating. Andy I actually knew him from elsewhere before knowing he was on his channel since he does video game streams but he's like the only genuine one there who's not in it for the money and hype/fear mongering. But yeah I do not like watching Ryan because of what he does. It's very important not to drive people into a frenzy

I was born here and still live in the same town and I can't really remember a setup where I was genuinely this worried. Normally severe weather excites me but I'm not really feeling it with this scenario. Definitely very concerning setup

Just got a tornado warning from that storm. I can see it over the mountains. Looks really nasty

NYC must be getting destroyed. This streamer I watch who's from NYC has lost his power twice now lol. I've seen him stream during snowstorms before and never had anything happen. Must be bad out there.

Power was flickering on and off. Street lights went out for a few minutes. It's not even windy over here lol

Starting to think the same. Barely anything has really accumulated on the pavement even though it's been snowing for a few hours over here in Enola. They're still calling 2-5 inches but I think it's going to be on the lower side too. Far cry from the 6-12 inches yesterday

Biggest forecast fuck up I've seen for my town in a long long time. Went from 6-12 inches down to 5-8 inches and now 2-5 inches and still rain so far. At least others are making out well lol

Absolutely pouring out right now. Haven't seen a big blob of heavy rain like that in a while

Does anyone know why we've been having so many air quality alerts recently? I don't remember getting so many so often the past few months. Not a fan honestly.

Great write up about the storm here. Basically goes into detail about why even though the potential exists for this to be an all time snowstorm it's probably not going to get as close to that mark as some thought. Regardless of that we should still have a big snowstorm to enjoy finally after years. South Central PA has gotten screwed so much the past 6 years it's unreal. https://x.com/HurricaneAddict/status/2014852201026584815

Nice to be tracking a potential big one after all these years. I know a lot of the state hasn't seen a big snowstorm in 5 or 6 years now.

Honestly can be said for just social media in general. That stuff just rots your brain and so many people are just in it for the fame and money that comes with it now. Not worth a lot of peoples time I feel

It's funny you say you live rent free in his head but he hasn't responded since your last post to him 5 hours ago but you felt the need to respond to him again a second time hours later despite him not having said anything since then lol

I'd mark this down as another win for some of the AI models as well. They not only guessed the track better when models like the GFS, ICON and UKMET failed spectacularly but they also guessed the insane low pressure below 900mb which many didn't believe it would get to. So glad we finally have something else to use because the GFS has just been a mess the past 5 years. But really this was one of the hardest forecasts we've had in a while but the AI models really nailed it despite the fact.

I'm absolutely impressed with the buildings in Jamaica. Other than the roofs being blown off and destroyed most of the buildings are completely intact which is really good to see. I have a feeling if their homes weren't made with solid concrete that they would not have survived this well.

I know you're joking but I can guarantee that you'll see AI video of that on social media and people will just automatically believe it lmao

I looked on twitter a bit apparently Jim Cantore is saying that's from hurricane Dorian so it's not even Melissa lol https://x.com/JimCantore/status/1983269063339192440

From what I've seen on Twitter this is apparently AI.

Was thinking the same thing. We may have to anticipate and watch this happen all over again in a few days. Even if just a cat 4 it's going to be a disaster for Cuba so I hope the people covering Jamaica didn't burn themselves out when we focus on Cuba

Wilma is the most intense at 882mb. Unless we're just talking about wind speed then it's pretty much tied with her at 185mph

185mph is absolutely insane. To think that this is landfalling at this strength at 892mb. What other storms landfalled at this strength? The labor day hurricane in 1935 comes to mind but I can't really think of anything else

Gotta hand it to the couple of models that were predicting this to get pressure to the 880's a week or two ago. I know some people didn't believe it'd get that low but here we are.

Third cat 5 of the season. Absolutely insane.
