That’s Connor Croff, he’s a very experienced storm chaser. I see him streaming all the time during tornado season in the plains. Not sure how much experience he has with hurricanes.

Considering he just said “oh I forgot about the mesovorts dude,” I’m going with “not much.”

Steinhatchee getting blasted by onshore flow with the intense SE quadrant of the eyewall. Worst of the surge is likely occurring that location.

On Google Maps it looks like a town with some homes up on stilts but a lot of smaller 1 story homes/buildings. Bet those will be gone soon if not already. Hope everyone got out of there.

Per NHC: so kind of confused why they didn't go higher if they felt it was conservative 

Peak 700 mb flight-level winds from the aircraft were
136 kt, corresponding to an intensity of about 120 kt, which might
be a bit conservative.  Radar and satellite images show numerous
mesocyclones rotating around the eyewall.

Called earlier today that Valdosta would get in the NE eyewall and that looks to be tracking at the moment. Could certainly see gusts over 100 there and 80+ up into E GA. 

yeah this is gonna be Hugo-like impacts well inland
