Am I reading these charts from NWS that it’s currently only producing TS winds? I know surge is the killer but sort of surprising.
The NWS is infallible. Repeat after me.

We’re not in the same county as that tornado, but they told folks to write their names, DOBs, and any other important information in sharpie on their arms if they stayed and didn’t evacuate.
Our pool has waves you could surf on from the wind and still going strong.

Thanks. I've seen the trends before but forgot how to get them. Looks like gust to 67 just now. That'll take a few weak/sick trees down.

I'm sure it's been discussed but I have a long busy day and haven't had time to read up, I saw a headline saying one of the hurricane hunting planes had an issue and was stuck in the eye? What happened there? I assume they got out??

Not sure about that. Trees are coming down around me and I am all the way on the Atlantic coast in Jacksonville

It wasn't an issue. They took time to launch and unmanned research drone and then hung around to figure out the best place to return to. There was an official statement put out.

Monticello and Live Oak look like the unlucky places that will get the eyewall but not the eye meaning no break from damaging winds and torrential rain

Reminds me of Katrina
Large size storms seem to outperform on surge

Similar end result with different routes to get there. Helene was destined to be a big storm pushing a lot of water due to it forming out of the CAG. Katrina got to its size via multiple EWRCs which grew its windfield.

Thanks MrLSU. Here is another one showing the record being smashed.

So 9’ of surge and rising per that gauge, and what was their projection…. I’m firmly in the path of hurricanes and I truly think NWS dramatizes wind and surge for tropical systems these last few years. So far I haven’t seen any weather stations corroborate the projected wind speeds, even in the outer bands that wouldn’t be affected by outages.
If anyone has data to show otherwise, I would love to see it.

Well hell, Helene tried an eyewall replacement last night without an eyewall to replace.
Oh and I see the hurricane truthers are out tonight.
