I might possibly have been the first power outage in Seminole County due to Nicole… 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. https://twitter.com/TMainolfiWESH/status/1590518516167368704?t=enBwT-KL08LxbScN89GQ9w&s=19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPetrulli Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Eyewall seems open to the south, will probably fill in with frictional convergence eventually though. Thought 80-85 MPH would be easily obtained but LF intensity may end up being just 60-65 knots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydbuster Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Reminds me of when Frances had a large ragged eye on the east coast back in 2004. Not nearly as strong, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been breezy all day but nothing noteworthy. Max gust so far is 25 kts . I think the Melbourne area is going to get some of the strongest winds, being in the northern eyewall.

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).

Roger Smith Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Smith Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 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.

Definitely took more of NW track recently so this may delay actual landfall a bit. ASOS readings indicate it should be over land. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeffsvilleWx Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
