they can, but honestly with the right conditions, the Gulf can form some fricking monsters.

I know what exponential means. A storm that's 185mph with 895mb is exponentially more powerful than a 160mph with 920mb storm. The amount of stored energy is exponentially larger.

But the completely missed the eye on the first pass. So you're right, it wasn't the center.

They didn't miss it, the eye is so small and the plane is traveling so fast that the update wasn't fast enough. They didn't drop a dropsonde in the eye this pass.

A Cat 5 means total destruction. 155 mph vs 180 mph is still total destruction.

Tampa for instance thankfully won't get 10ft surge plus another 10+ inches of rain like a usual landfall according to Levi's video.


I hate to tell you but Tampa will likely see higher than 10ft surge

Correct. But just the thought of a land falling 180-200 mph storm is very scary…

Dr. Levi Cowan
@TropicalTidbits
According to
@53rdWRS
aircraft data, Hurricane #Milton has strengthened further since the end of the last mission, and may have a central pressure less than 900mb, an extremely rare feat for an Atlantic hurricane.

A weak secondary wind max is trying to develop but is not asserting itself yet, so an eyewall replacement cycle is not yet actively occurring, but we could see one overnight.

You have no idea wtf you're talking about.

Complete utter destruction isn't exponentially worse than utter destruction.

If ppl are too stupid to realize 5/5 worst thing ever is bad than 6/6 this is really the worst won't change their perception

Inland rainfall was a big risk with Helene. It won’t be nearly as big a deal with Milton.

The risks of each storm are dynamic. Wind and surge will be the biggest risk with Milton.

Flash flooding in the mountains is not a comparable situation.

I can't believe we're arguing because i originally said that the residents in the lowest lying coastal areas need to be able to get out first. We're talking about levels of danger. The danger level to people living below 10-15 feet along the coast need to be able to get out first. The vast majority of the Tampa area is above that.

Oh the surge is going to happen. I was just saying the lack of rain won't compound things.....if the wind shear erodes the eastern side of rain as is currently predicted by Levi's video this morning.

Shaping up to be a worst case scenario regardless for Western/Central Florida.
