The transformer to my house, and only my house, blew about an hour ago. I might possibly have been the first power outage in Seminole County due to Nicole…emoji2371.png

Here in Pinellas County, when we see 40 mph gusts, power starts to go out and we hear transformers exploding. At night we see the bright blue flashes. It's life in a Tree City with old trees. :)

Question for everyone and forgive me if this should be in the banter thread, but. When I look at the radar on weather.com it looks like the eye is almost going NNW as it lands putting it on a track to go over Orlando or even east of Orlando. This seems to differ from the cone or most tracks, is this just the model they are using or are they projecting a jump east in the track? Or am I just misreading the radar


.

It's like an optical illusion especially with wider eyes. They also use a composite radar I suppose. Even on radarscope, you can tell on a 20 frame loop it is WNW. Check out this loop and you'll see jogs but a general WNW.

Reminds me of when Frances had a large ragged eye on the east coast back in 2004. Not nearly as strong, of course.

Yup, this is exactly what it’s reminding me of!

The giant primary band has made it here, and this is effectively the eyewall. Conditions are becoming much more intense and sustained very quickly. 
 

It appears the most intense part of the hurricane is likely to make it here. It’s sliding through Boca Raton and rapidly heading towards the Broward metro area. 
 

Also notably, it smells like the ocean! Literally the same smell as the beach when you’re standing next to breaking waves. It’s really nice

Going off 2 AM motion, should expect landfall around 3:30 AM or before. Also formed quite a large CDO despite dry air

Hurricane Nicole Tropical Cyclone Update
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL172022
300 AM EST Thu Nov 10 2022

...NICOLE MAKES LANDFALL ALONG THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA JUST SOUTH 
OF VERO BEACH...

Radar imagery from Miami and Melbourne shows the center of Nicole 
has made landfall on the east coast of the Florida peninsula on 
North Hutchinson Island just south of Vero Beach.  The maximum 
sustained winds are estimated to be 75 mph (120 km/h), and the 
minimum central pressure is estimated to be 981 mb (28.97 inches).

This will be the last hourly update given the degraded radar 
structure of Nicole.

ABOUT 15 MI...25 KM NNW OF FORT PIERCE FLORIDA

I don't see much "radar degradation" and the eye is still about 50% over the ocean. Is landfall when the eyewall hits the coast or when the center of the eye hits the coast? 

When the central portion of the storm crosses land. It should be making landfall soon if it hasn't already. Definitely took more of NW track recently so this may delay actual landfall a bit.

ASOS readings indicate it should be over land.

The strong side of this eye is about to hit the Cape (Space coast) in about 2h from now, would say the eye is now 60% inland with the center about 20 miles south of Melbourne FL. 

Wind gusted to 100mph. atop Artemis.
I'm getting frequent gusts in the 60 range. Oh, that sound a ferocity greater than Ian. Power going out all over the place.

Nothing too exceptional here. Max gust of 37 kts, max sustained of 18 kts. My sensor is not ideally located but I'm at the mercy of the HOA.

Between Ian and Nicole, our large foxtail palm in the back is down to 2 fronds. I'll have to hit it with some fertilizer this weekend. Have a branch down from a live oak in the back, too. 3/4-1" diameter if I had to guess. Maybe a bit more. Overall, about what I expected.

No idea what the front of the house looks like yet, that's all boarded up.
