Wannabehippie Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Is Helene predicted to come on shore at high tide, or low tide. Even with the wave heights as high as they are, it still will help a bit if it comes on shore at low tide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDweatherman Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 This eastern eye wall is passing 80 miles from Tampa Bay. Talk about dodging a completely catastrophic event. The close calls can only go on for so long. 2 2 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycwinter Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 clearly on the way to cat 4 status this was so predictable we seen this so many times lately as these storms are approaching the gulf coast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Jesus look at the NE quadrant fire up. Nasty MOFO. https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/floater.php?stormid=AL092024#homePageLink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 The Michael comparisons can continue. Extremely diffluent ventilation with the interaction with the trough to the north and east and movement in line with shear vector. This isn’t going to be far from Michael intensity wise in a few hours. Satellite presentations are almost identical at this stage before landfall. The dueling VHTs is a menacing look and absolutely causing these rapid pressure falls. Just wow. Those mesovortices are beautiful to watch on radar, though the destructive potential increases with every radar update 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, rode it right into the coast. Similarly scary situation unfolding now although in a mord sparsely populated area than Charleston with the core upon approach, hopefully.

wthrmn654 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 My God, look at far east those crazy winds extend, not sure how much of that mixes down to surface but I hope people run for there lives if they haven't yet! And to note, that is the buoy by the center, looks like it will go just east of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Mclellanville was fairly sparsely populated, too...Charleston was speared, relatively speaking....like Miami in Andrew. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold214 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Always so fascinating to watch things unfold like this. I can see the low level strato cu near sfc level in the eye when zooming in now. Pressures continue to fall on my brother's Davis in Fort Myers even though the storm continues to move away. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I heard that.

Meanwhile someone from VLD-MCN is going to gust 100+ I’m starting to think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note to add that once this gets into that part of Georgia and VLD northward, we start getting into some pretty densely populated areas (Warner Robbins, Macon, Albany, Athens) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
