Windspeed Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 I didn't expect Florida to dodge such a bullet. This morning it looked like it was going to be really bad. From my post storm survey they came out relatively well. I bursted out laughing. You should do standup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Today is a special day in the weather community. I remember watching TWC's coverage of Andrew as a kid and being fascinated. I even named a pet that I got a short time later after that hurricane. Not only was this the strongest US landfall since Andrew, but it pretty comfortably blows away the top storms in the record books for the panhandle of Florida. Any borderline cat 5 is going to be memorable (and maybe it will be upgraded someday?) but this one even more so because of where it hit. Wish I could've spent more time watching things unfold today, but unfortunately I couldn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's a laughable comparison to use in reference to their "storm survey" and then use a photo from Panama City Beach, which was on the outter edge or just outside the western eyewall. Not trying to downplay Sandy's damage but this is getting ridiculous. They could have at least made an effort to find actual surge or wind damage. Search engines aren't that hard to use. There are plenty of bad Sandy images to choose from besides damage from a fire, which is clearly going to be deceiving if not pointed out. I bet they didn't even realize that was from a fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I lived through Sandy too. My town was devastated by it as were many others nearby. It was NOTHING like what areas in the max surge and wind zone saw in Michael. Period. This is a major hurricane strike on GA too from an INLAND direction. We haven’t even really begun to see the real scope of the damage. I bet Panama City is devastated from being in the eyewall for so long despite the surge not being so bad. Port St Joe is also a fairly well populated place in the max surge zone I haven’t seen much from yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witness Protection Program Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 What's the best comparison hurricane for Mike? (Other than the obvious Sandy, pre-Sandy, post-Sandy, Sandy V, and Sandy.) Was this as tight as Charley for the truly brutal winds? That was my first impression, but I haven't got the chance to read through the threads and am basically a hurricane idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the ghost of leroy Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Camille was definitely more intense. I don’t think that will become an actual debate.
