    Flipped to snow in the last 20 mins or so.

    Rain here. Family came over from 10 mins away and reported 1/2" of slushy accumulation where they came from.

    Had a few minutes of pea sized hail there. Just a bit of lighting.

    that is a few blocks from the tdwr site! Crazy detail

    Sorry to hear that. Are they too young to remember Katrina? Maybe have them read up on that.

    It wouldn't take much to exceed Charley in surge for that area. It wasn't a factor. Milton is a lock to exceed the surge and unlikely reach the same type of wind damage in Port C/PG.

    It is an extrapolation which ignores all other factors besides previous motion. Not intended to be a forecast.

    extrapolating the recent radar movement would bring it just up the north side of the bay

    Pretty impressive radar image there

    Truck tire rolling down the gulf.

    Watching a potentially bad surge situation approach a large low elevation population give me Katrina vibes. Having lived in SW FL I know there plenty of stubborn and complacent people who will stay in risky areas too.

    what an epic run, at first I didn't even notice that was the second hurricane

    To add to your point. Looking at a satellite map should help people who aren't familiar with the area. From the Tampa Bay area and south there is nearly continuous development in potential surge areas right up to the gulf and extensive bays and canals and low lying areas. To the north there's very little development right on the coast.

    Charley was running at almost a parallel angle to the FL coast and was a tiny storm with a small patch of major wind damage well inland and relatively limited storm surge. We'll have to watch the details on this but it appears to have greater potential for surge based at this point based on likely storm strength/size and approach angle/speed.

    Not many outs on that forecast cone.

    Not many October historical tracks like the eps there.. Closest I found was Cat 1 Unnamed Oct 24, 1859 to Oct 29, 1859. Cat 2 Unnamed Oct 08, 1888 to Oct 12, 1888 looks similar too. Assuming my search is correct there hasn't been a hurricane that originated in the Gulf and struck within 150mi of Sarasota since that storm in 1888. Not implying any forecast with that tidbit, just find it interesting.

    We obsess over wind but loss of life is usually the result of flooding.

    Cell by Alton shows 3.5" hail icon on grlevel3. About as large as I can remember seeing. Wonder what size is reaching the ground?
  23. bobbutts
    Rain and a bunch of rumbling here but winds stayed pretty light. Doubt it got over 30mph.
  24. bobbutts
    Looks like some large hail on the storm near Willimantic. Grlevel3 shows it as 3.25"

    One pretty easy workaround is to install google photos and set it to back them up to the google photos site. Once setup you can go there on a computer and download them.
