the recon planes are picking up winds in the sky of 100 mph, what are the wind speeds going to be for ground level? More? Less? The same? I realize that’s probably an ignorant question, so sorry
There is a standard adjustment they make for winds at a certain altitude to ground level, but hurricane recon planes also drop physical instruments (dropsondes) that measure winds along the drop from the plane. They also use Stepped frequency microwave radiometer SFMR to calculate surface winds in essentially realtime.
They don’t just guess completely.

Magnificent hurricane.
Kirk was a lot more fun to watch, knowing it was a fish storm

Whoof. Good luck, man. Hopefully a best case scenario plays out.
You can see the bay down there to the left. Helene surge nearly reached Beach Drive right there. I’ve never seen anything else close to getting over the sea wall before that. This one might reach us(but we’re on the 3rd floor).

SFMR isnt working right and we will not have real time data from that during this storm.

He's not, Baw. he said he is staying at Disney. 0% of Disney is in Orlando.

I thought a dude in the plane licked his finger and stuck it out the window

My mom is in Englewood and wants to stick it out. We tried to tell her to leave yesterday. They are afraid to get stuck in traffic for hours and they don't want to leave their home. It's crazy and she's not listening..

My gf’s brother is in Disney with his family.
They’re staying.
I told her I’d be in a car immediately driving home.

That 203 mph surface wind from SFMR seemed a little suspicious. Is this official news? Hadn’t seen anything about it.

Good luck Reauxl.
We’re gonna be just fine as long as windows don’t break I guess. I’ve got some friends staying right below me so I should be able to get some wild video.

I realize that but I’m talking about the entire area.

These updates are unbelievable. They continue to really miss on the intensity predictions and this thing looks crazy on radar 
Posted on 10/7/24 at 1:40 pm to brmark70816
You need to tell her you’d like to FaceTime her with your kids if you have them so you/they can see her one last time. Maybe that’ll wake her up

Your place, or the city? Where are you seeing this?
But a little earlier I was walking around town and heard a man boarding up his business mention they’re shutting it off downtown/Ole Northeast area. They shut ours off after Helene for quite a while after everyone else got it back, due to it being nasty and contaminated.
Old Northeast and some surrounding neighborhoods seem to have water issues pretty often.

What do parks like Busch Gardens in Tampa do with all of those exotic safari animals in events like this? Truck them somewhere? They have lions, giraffes, all kinds of stuff there
