It's sole purpose of creation was to affect the mid-term elections in the southern states. This needs to be investigated further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only a matter of time until a cat 4 slams straight into Houston, New Orleans, or anywhere in the Florida peninsula and will make every storm before it look like child’s play. I The big cities are such small targets of land, relatively speaking. Kind of like the discussion about tornadoes in big cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Man, trying to navigate all these armed mines and contribute any meaningful analyzing discussion with regards to Michael's observed meteorological phenomenon is a good lesson in futility. It's more than enough to present your opinion and evidence in a debate, it's another to hijack all the discussion because the majority disagrees with you, much more demand everyone believe you. Present your point, your reasoning and evidence, whatever; debate it, amend it later if there is new evidence to support your claim if you must; but in the meantime, get over yourself and move on. People get so damn offended when not agreed with. It may be a science forum, but you're not defending your dissertation. Step away. Chill out. Stop being miserable and go enjoy life for a while.

Pellice Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Putting this in the banter thread since it's not directly concerned with storm forecasting and movement. Is Mexico Beach even likely to be rebuilt? That is, are the property owners there wealthy enough to tenaciously pursue insurance settlements and governmental subsidies and grants so as to rebuild? I am in New Jersey, and there was a bifurcation of outcomes from Sandy. Some poorer areas, mostly inland along rivers, were abandoned and residents sought buyouts. Wealthy barrier islands are completely rebuilt to even wealthier standards. I guess the two possible outcomes in Mexico beach are abandonment to a return to a natural state, or bargain sales of lots to those wealthy enough to build housing to the most rigorous standards. Somewhere I read that many of the barrier islands along the Florida panhandle are largely the domain of fewer, but wealthier, residents due to the succession of storms over the years.

Eric In NW Ohio Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 And here I felt bad early on for calling a "lighthouse" a "buoy" when I posted data early on in this madness (Station SGOF1 - Tyndall AFB Tower C (N4), FL), but, little did I realize that this whole event would turn into this madness. Some of us like weather from a casual point of view and have no dog in this fight, but, seeing how folks behave about it really made me realize the volatility of individual points of view.

AppsRunner Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 It's worth noting that not only did Tyndall AFB gust to 130mph, but a couple UF/WeatherFlow stations also recorded winds of that caliber for getting tossed around. The one that hit the eye (after the wind sensor died) recorded an 86/G129. The one station just SE of Mexico beach recorded 96/G126. Not to mention the FSU/Panama City station that hit 100/G116 before it also died (on an offshore wind). Given that there was a recorded 16.5mb pressure difference over 3.7 nmi and multiple datasets of ~920mb pressure, it's laughable that people are even considering this to be Cat1/Cat2. Hopefully the NHC appreciates your email though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormFollowerUSA Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I posted this in the other thread but thought I post it here. This is not a Category 1 or 2 Hurricane! But believe what you want with your so called data. This is worse than what then any video I saw that came out of Texas of Hurricane Harvey which was a low end Category 4 at landfall. I will believe the real experts including The NHC and TWC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterymix Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Scientifically, this was a very strong Cat. 4. Aircraft recon supports strong 4, Catastrophic damage from under the eyewall is strong Cat. 4. My meteorology suggestion: everyone interested try to understand how the structure of this storm allowed it to strengthen right up until LF.

Windspeed Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 For the sake of accuracy, Google was a few ticks off, not that you'll notice from eyeballing the map. This is dead on for 29.408 N 84.858 W, the station in question. And this is exactly where you'd expect such readings: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
