Early season snowstorm somewhere

[Rtd208]

I actually think this October will feature some high wind events in the mid-atlantic and northeast. As far as one specific storm I think it will be a major nor'easter that will get things started for the fall and winter months.

[gravitylover]

Halloween will get snowed out again for the third time this decade. 

[MJO812]

A tropical system will come up the coast

[Juliancolton]

Probably a 175 kt super typhoon in the PHP.

I think a near Cat 5 at the FL panhandle will win the prize this year.

This will be upgraded to Cat 5 post analysis just like Andrew was, everything was leveled down there.

I think so too.   But if you're referring to the Mexico Beach area, it's hard to tell what's storm surge damage vs wind damage.  I guess the tree damage???  I saw fully debarked trees.

My uncle is down near Panama City as part of the relief effort, he posted this photo yesterday of a transmission line tower...blown close to a mile away from its footing...

Yes it looks like major tornado damage down there, it's about as bad as a hurricane can ever get.  I was glad to hear that we didn't lose more people.

Any guesses for this October?
