Kmlwx Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I always think it's funny when the lurker posters come out during big weather events and start telling the degreed meteorologists the reasoning behind things. Always good for a laugh. And regarding Weatherbuff - You're missing the entire point of what I'm saying. You went from one day saying "I'd trust Glen Schwartz over this guy who I've never heard of" to saying "it's important to get many opinions" - one does not equal the other. It's cool though - we can be civil - I'm just a little taken aback that you are trying to act like you didn't completely brush off HM as a reliable source on one day and then try to claim otherwise the next. Again, getting various opinions is good but that's not what you had initially said... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I just took a tour of Florida's east coast, perusing the latest point and click forecasts, and some of them are simply terrifying. Cape Canaveral says sustained winds from 110 to 125 mph with gusts to 145. I can only imagine what my hood would look like after something of that magnitude.
