USCG RS Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 The evac of a large part of the southern half of Florida will be something many never forget. The panic in the eyes of people at stops and gas stations was unique. Thank God everyone listened. Harvey helped with this. Likewise, just the sheer look of her in the Atlantic.

jmg378s Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 3 hours ago, Chinook said: Here's an interesting calculation: KFMY (Fort Myers) and KRSW (near Fort Myers) had a 4.2 mb pressure difference at 21:53. they are only 6.45 nautical miles apart (11.94 km). What would the cyclostrophic wind be? radius to the eye is about 14.6 nautical miles (27.03 km). I dunno, I probably made a mistake somewhere, but I get about 57kts?

Clyde Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Stepped outside my front door to figure out why water was seeping under it... gust of wind and a huge crack and down came my 50 foot live oak in my front yard. Seconds later half of the 100 year old oak in my backyard fell. Good times...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPetrulli Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I'd argue this being a more severe wind event than Harvey due to its widespread occurrence and multiple measured high wind gusts. We didn't see the extreme devastation in FL like we did in TX due to the building codes. A lot of very well built buildings in Naples and across FL. Could argue that fact with the Keys experiencing what sounds like complete devastation and Miami metro area experiencing hurricane conditions for several hours and wind gusts getting into the 90+ range there.

There is no doubt Irma had a greater field of wind damage, not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally I hate trying to use social media for this stuff, but just searching the hashtag #bigpinekey on twitter is sobering. Mostly people looking for any word of loved ones.

OKStorm Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I noted a Miami Herald story quoted Monroe County EM as saying they have Dmort teams headed there. A disaster mortuary team is used for a mass casualty event. They are used to hold and ID victims. The population of Monroe Co is about 77 K. I wonder how many left the chain and went inland?

I heard a lot of stories of people staying, one of my friend's friend stayed in Key Largo and didn't leave. Haven't talked to him since the cane hit though.

Clyde Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 The rainfall aspect of this storm hasn't been much talked about (probably in light of Harvey's astronomical totals), but we're pushing 10 inches east of Orlando and FFW states expectation of 2-4 more with this next band. Probably had as much to do with my oaks toppling as the wind.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkman Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 For those hoping that the more east track leads to less serious conditions downstream I have some news. At the 10am update Irma's pressure was 929mb. 6 hours after that, at 4pm, the first update after landfall (25 minutes after landfall), the pressure was 940mb. And 6 hours after that, at 10pm, the pressure has only crept up to 948mb. I don't see any evidence that being over land is helping Irma to dramatically unwind faster.
