Erin is kind of boring now.  Hurricane Andrew landfall radar: https://imgur.com/G5IB3vI

I’ve never seen anything like what it  did to the Homestead Air Force  base and all property around it

The video of Miami is fine then they go south and it's like OMG!

People were saying this might hit as a major hurricane, the models were saying otherwise and the models won. 

"People were saying?"

 

Who?  At what point?   This was a well forecasted storm in terms of track and intensity.   While there were absolutely the same usual folks that would pull outlier tracks and intensity guidance from certain models, this was fairly well projected from most suites.  The western end of the envelope verification was still within margin of error. 

I don’t believe anyone has called for even a remote chance of lower 48 landfall in over 96 hours.   This is a win-win scenario for enthusiasts up and down the eastern seaboard.   We are afforded an opportunity to study a unique system, with hopefully minimal damage.   Trust me, damage is still being incurred as i type this.

Stop listening to idiots.  Read, discuss, interpret, document, and learn.

Yes and at first  when there were no reports TV said that was no news and good news. Very quickly they got that it was because no one could report

I don't, I'm just saying what the lay person is saying online.

Not so underwhelming here on ocracoke

Sorry, not my intention to downplay. We set the bar pretty high for an offshore storm. I saw storm reports and clips from earlier but it seems like I'm not finding much in realtime right now. I guess morning will tell the tale.

Was just thinking about Dorian. Everyone forgot about it past the Bahamas but Ocracoke was decimated.   Hope it isn’t anything like that.  Godspeed.

Dorian got up to 185 MPH, Trump made his cone through Florida and it went out to sea.  LOL.

NWS had it hitting Florida as a major hurricane and it missed.
