Oh man, Chad Meyers on CNN just said Tallahassee isn’t getting bullseyed. They might be on the east side of the eyewall but I don’t think you should be giving any sort of safety signal. 
 

it looks like they are getting smashed at least by the western eyewall

I mean the east eyewall would likely be the worst but 90-100 mph gusts in the western eyewall would at least mean thousands of trees down, decent property damage and no power/services for many days. I guess we'll see also if it wobbles NNE again which would give the city a chance of missing it. But they're in for some hurt it looks like.

Try changing x to twitter and see what happens. I’ve had that issue on other boards.

Perry ASOS 55kts now, it only reports every 20 mins so this may be last ob we get, if not the 1035 one might be 80kts plus

Ah thank you, was looking at cached data.

The blue house on the weather channel is getting pummeled with waves.

The moment of landfall radar image will be one to remember.  Beautiful, yet terrifying. 

 Awesome storm to track, and I'm amazed at how well the mets took modeled data and formed their own consensus and stuck with it.  

If anyone wants an analog for a well-forecasted and quickly moving carribean gyre system, this is the one.   What I'd do to be a fly on the wall when forecasting began over 72 hours ago.

27.something.  Wow 

 

[BoulderWX]

Looks very close to a landfall in Steinhatchee or very close to it. For some reason won’t let me post radar shot from RadarScope 

 

edit: TWC confirms outer eyewall has made LF.

No aircraft problems

I expect nhc to announce landfall in the next 15 minutes. Edge of eyewall coming ashore now.

maybe it's just me but I feel like we've frequently observed tiny wobbles right before landfall of the storm trying to avoid land.

Yea and I think so for a long time. Steering winds can compel then into land but if weak to none then the storm works itself around the land to stay over water. To not die.

They most likely did, but Recon Hunters just didn’t find the exact location in the east/northeast eyewall.

It’s not LF at steinhatchee. It will be north of there.  Adams Beach maybe

[Rjay]

Landfall will be sw of Perry and it's been obvious for hours.  

[Windspeed]

Landfall point (center of eye) looks like it's going to be due SW of Perry at the Spring Warrior Fish Camp in the Big Bend Wildlife Management Area if current motion continues.

I think they've been chasing crack instead of hurricanes
