Cfa Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 What is the significance of 157mph if wind speeds are measured in increments of 5mph? At 155mph just call it a Cat 5 imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's almost certainly it. Street view from that location matches what we saw on the feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a bad spot. When I watched them make the decision to drive over the bridge near Port St. Joe and head that way I couldn't believe it. I had watch when they traveled through to Port St. Joe earlier in the feed and it was clear that the whole are was super low. More importantly the only road to get out was basically on the coast.

I've made that drive before between Panama City and Port St. Joe and your perception is correct. There's a reason that people like Josh didn't go over there- lack of options.

Bad news is that between the live site map showing the chasers, tweets from other chasers who said they were in Mexico City, and Jeff Piotrowski's live feed it seems that there were a lot of chasers in major risk areas between the two. Jeff claimed to have been down there but barely made it out before storm surge and fallen trees blocked the way - and that was a bit before it got REALLY bad. Hope others made it out or found places that held. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope others made it out or found places that held. I can't really imagine deciding to attempt to ride out the storm surge and wind of a storm like this in a vehicle at sea level. That's not a reasonable plan. People having that little concern for their own personal safety is really disconcerting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 It really needs to be said that this Brett dudes actions have made him look like a total selfish azzhole in so many ways. He doesn't deserve anything to happen to him but I really hope he takes a long hard look at himself and his "career" if he manages to escape this.

Seems like his thinking was “I boarded up my home and left like I was supposed too but you stayed and broke the seal on the home I spent so much time boarding up.” Understandable I can't blame him at all, and honestly give him mad props for not completely tearing into Brett in that interview. Can't say I would of held my tongue if that was my home this clown broke into and likely ruined the storm preparations that I had spent time on all because he had to have the best footage, safety be damned... It would be hilarious if he pressed charges on him and I really hope he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah. Ever since I can remember PA was held up as the gold standard of weird town names. I looked up a few from NY because that is where BX resides. All in fun.

sojitodd Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I am seriously still kind of in a state of shock that this thing came in with the third lowest pressure recorded in the US...lower than Andrew... and in the Florida panhandle a third of the way into October. All of the clowns maps pretty much came true-yeah I was looking at them all and laughing like everyone else. Hard to believe really. I really can't wait for the analysis on this storm.

Jackstraw Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I can't think of a better tool than this video to show people why they need to evacuate storm surge prone areas. It really shows how quickly and how powerful the wind and water combined come ashore. Too often people see water levels rise over a period of many hours, this was true storm surge. It went from nothing to maybe 4 feet of water w 3 or 4 ft waves on top in 15-20 min. And that was w/ the wind and surge coming from the E/SE somewhat paralleling that coastline. The video quit before the the winds became more perpendicular to the coastline. That location looked like it never saw the eye proper but stayed in the eyewall (maybe even the outer fringes) throughout. The backside surge can be just as bad. I couldn't imagine back in the days of Camille being half toasted at a hurricane party in a house sitting at or just above sea level, and having even worse than this come barreling through. I dont care about the blame game stuff, I don't blame race car drivers, it's their choice and we all still like to watch. Regardless, glad they're ok.
