Yes.."expectations"

Say what you will, but that is impressive based on how far away Miami currently is from the CoC. 

Understood, however this thread has been amazing helpful during the past week.  Just the media porn around Miami/Miami Beach is a bit exhausting.

The storm has missed Miami, the people on the west coast need the attention and expertise of the participants here.

Same with the media, I wish CNN would actually focus on the areas that will need help and stop turning on their cameras for semi-staged Miami Beach shots on Ocean Drive where a few hotels are open/functioning and serving them breakfast and coffee.

 

also I edited my original post it's not even cat 1 level here, it's tropical storm 45-60 mph wind bursts.  For locals, it's a huge relief and wouldn't have shut down the city.

I'm watching a live report from MB on WPLG's stream and it looks relatively bad there right now.

Debate the media presence in the media thread please

Fair enough, just wanted to point out for those watching major networks with semi-staged Miami shots that it is pretty docile here.

I've been through every storm in Miami Beach since the 90s.  This is absolutely nothing, I just went to the convenience store in the lobby of my building which was closed yesterday.  Street level is just short bursts of wind every 10-15 minutes and mostly just light rain otherwise.  Tropical storm stuff.

Let us hope this thing dies down to a Category 3 quickly for those on the west coast.  Not babble about Miami.

Congrats and thank you for the hopeful thoughts.  Nice balance to the massive devastation incoming bombs away crowd posting from far away.  Really happy to see MIA and vicinity escape some of the scenarios painted by the models a few days ago.  You could have been waking up to a much different situation if not for different evolution of the steering pattern.  Be safe.

I think there is something else going on there. A pressure of 892 would absolutely transfer sub 900 or around there 60 miles away. 

Not even close. Storms like that have a very steep pressure gradient. See Patricia. Back to the storm at hand, GOES16 showing some slight clearing of the eye after filling for the last hour. EDIT: Although Eek's radar grab would seem to belie that.

Key west seems to be getting the west eye wall now. Recon had just 930.9 extrap. So pressure is definitely up.

My dad is riding this out in his condo in KW, per his texts, they are in the soup right now.  Keeps asking how much longer.
