KPITSnow Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Obviously not an expert here, but given how well it has organized this afternoon and evening it is probably a good thing this doesn't have 12 more hours as you could be looking at possibly hitting higher level cat 2 or cat 3 if if it had time.

Should be more interesting as the tide comes back in. Right now the water only came up to about the middle of the wheels on the 1/2 ton truck or Ranger that just drove by.

It slowed down a ton when nearing the coast. And now rearing towards the right a bit....keeping it over warm water longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROOSTA Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 The outer band going to town with couplets appearing all over the place in cells moving at 60 mph.

Bluescat1 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Strengthening hurricanes at landfall do more damage than a storm of equal strength that has reached it's peak and is in decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Just got off work and catching up. Strengthening at landfall can make a Cat 1 seem like a Cat 2. Katrina was one scary storm at landfall in Florida. More like a giant tornado. Just talked to a friend in Loyd Fl. he said it's getting interesting. That squall was pretty intense, lots of wind making it to the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayman Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Although, I have been very silent about this. This storm is going through a cycle of rapid intensification which is apparent with the lightning in the northern bands closest to the center. This could become a low Cat 2 just as it makes landfall with/without an update to show that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsdaleMIWeather Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 If storm surge is already this bad on the Cedar Key cam, wait until high tide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeSuck Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Landfall not too far away now. Looks great on radar. She took literally the best track to maximize time over water. http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=TLH&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes Going to be a long weekend at work now for me at FEMA...

jojo762 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 This thing strengthened in a hurry. Awesome satellite loop.
