It's horrible that it happened, but no one here wished death on anyone. Almost with every deadly tornado there's situations like this, and discussion on a wx forum won't change that.

Gulf of Mexico IR2 imagery, almost like "night visible" (they messed with it on floaters a couple years back for some reason) on SSD shows nice LLC, apparently nearly devoid of convection. TLH and TBW radars would seem to confirm not much (at least deep) convection with the center.

It has an eye!

ETA: It does almost look like a frontal occlusion. I could almost imagine comments about the CCB and snowfall bombs...

j/k

Weenie wishcast, LLC stays behind in Gulf, drifts Westward while Ernesto develops from MLC over Atlantic. A boy can hope.

Looks like Debby is finally about to make landfall south of Cross City, Florida (sometime later today at least as the cold front starts to give her a kick). The 26" of rain with Debby in Sanborn is incredible, hopefully we don't see anything like that as she slowly moves eastwards across the state. Can't rule out another flood though if convection fires near the center again. I put my full forecast and analysis at http://weather.schematical.com/

st. lucie inlet..9:30 am.....257 miles from this ''lame'' storm...wind S W 25 knts, gusting to 33 knots..

may they all be ''lame''

I don't understand how 20-30 inches of rain can be lame. Seems like a pretty intense storm for some regions in northern Florida. 20-30 inches of snow is insane even in Buffalo. I cannot imagine what 20-30 inches of rain looks like...

20-30" would be 200-300" of snow lmfao. So he obviously doesnt think 200-300" of snow in 3 days would be impressive.

Looks like Jacksonville is going to be getting destroyed for several hours with 1-2 inch rainfall rates. I can see the city totaling over 20 inches if this continues for this event.

I guess I'm ground zero. I've lived in different parts of Florida for most of my life but have never seen such persistent heavy rain for such a prolonged amount of time.

Congrats.

Still nothing where I'm at in Gainesville. I must have a rain/wind shield.

ETA: C'mon people I meant its lame where I'm at and the thing is supposed to move right over me. Seems like most of the raind/wind is from the front that's pulling Debby north...but that's just my opinion.
