  1. I would be melting so hard if this was January and the radar was c*teasing me like this.
  2. Man, look at the wind shear off the tops of those waves. Insane.
  3. Mercifully, it looks like my relatives in Sarasota dodged a bullet. Strong tropical storm conditions there all day, but no surge or really damaging wind. What a relief!
  4. Damn it. Last thing I wanted to see waking up this morning.
  5. Yeah, it's a nice spot. My grandmother and great uncle evacuated Siesta Key this morning. I'm hoping this keeps edging south. Would much rather have the wind blowing off the land than piling water up. I still think their homes are probably not going to weather this well.
  6. Deeply concerning. Great structure and jet fuel water ahead.
  7. Ugh. My grandmother's condo is on the 5th floor facing the beach. Wind is her big concern. My great uncle's house is just off the beach at about 3-4 feet above sea level. Water will be his problem. They've evacuated inland, but this will be a tough hit for them. Both are north of 90 and have major health problems.
  8. F***, a lot of these runs will make my grandmother and great uncle homeless. F***.
  9. My great uncle is in the same situation. He's at about 4-5 ft about sea level just off the beach in Siesta Key. He's packing up his important documents and heading inland. If the current surge forecast verifies, his house is gonzo. A very sad situation.
  10. Ugh, my great uncle lives just off the beach in Siesta Key, probably just above sea level. My grandmother is just down the beach. GFS is a bad look for them. Hope this thing stays out at sea.
  11. Getting some solid rumbles now. Looks like LI is getting the goods.
  12. This guy is putting out some awesome content. For @weatherwiz delectation, the May 31, 1998 episode:
  13. Where did you end up hunkering down?
  14. Beaver Island east of Halifax with hurricane force wind reported from the north at 121 km, gusting 141 km/hr.
  15. Just based on what I'm seeing on Twitter, the show seems to be starting. More people reporting power out, "noisy" and "scary" wind, tree down on deck--that sort of thing. I'd imagine with a storm booking this fast, it will go from pedestrian to gnarly in a hurry.
  16. Wow, guess the models weren't hitting the peyote after all! How are the conditions? Looks like the core is moving towards you guys quickly.
  17. Impressive. Not ‘38, but still can’t be that many storms in the annals moving that fast in the basin.
  18. Fiona is really starting to haul ass. Anyone know what the forward motion is presently?
  19. Good point. Dealing with large-scale features is probably easier to peg down.
  20. Amazing how zeroed in they’ve been on that landfall location as well. Very little variation in days.
  21. Yes! Pretty rare to have a cat 4 this far north, too. Fascinating evolution under way.
  22. Fiona is taking on that hybrid look. It still has that hurricane core, but now complemented with a big baroclinic leaf peeling off to the north. Fun to watch the evolution on satellite.
  23. Just bribe 'em with a six of Labatt and you're golden.
  24. Awesome. Good luck! I'm sure it's going to be memorable.
  25. Where you gonna set up for your chase? Louisbourg area?
