I understand if it was one the confusion of why they are still up. Thanks for you and others providing me with this info. I learned something new and have deleted my incorrect message.

Hvward Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Found a 143mph reading on velocity surrounded by a 122mph & 136mph reading 65 miles away from Irma's eye. Impressive wind field to say the least. Could have been a radar error, but just as well could be an embedded meso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not impressive on the radar, but it's formidable. Naples to Port Charlotte are not going to be in good shape by the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCG RS Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 It all depends on the height either way its a massive undertakingHere's the other issue. Let's say it takes one week. It takes crews to take that down. You are talking several people per Crain. Likewise, these are not emergency responders who are going to take these down. So even if it's only a week to take down, you are asking 100+ people to stay behind when all guidance was showing a cataclysmic hurricane bearing down on Miami. Those 100 people likely don't get out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are literally letting them swing around in the wind. Not exactly. They do re-position the cranes to be as parallel to the wind as possible. There was some news coverage about this a couple of days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPetrulli Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Thinking storm surge is also over preforming in Miami. Not sure if it's freshwater or storm surge, but some streets are rivers, as evident on Fox News. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peribonca Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 IR definitely looks like it's responding to the bathwater it's over for the next few hours. Those people that remained on Marco are in for the fight off their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Thanks, guys. Looks as though the conservative approach regarding Irma's reintensification proved to be the correct course of action, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
