I'm surprised this version of the SPC didn't just say, "It gone get windy."

Of note, Hurricane Idalia yielded the 1st hurricane warning in over 725 days for the Tallahassee, FL area (Elsa, early July 2021).

Which before this event, both the NWS Boston and New York City forecast offices had issued a hurricane warning more recently than there!

Idk if anyone else has The Weather Channel on, but this spiky haired Justin Michaels guy annoys the heck out of me. He’s not even a meteorologist, just a hype specialist.

It’s so odd to me how someone will ay for a 2 but leave for a 3 - as if 110 mph is fine but 111 mph is a deal breaker.

Cat 4 starts at 944mb which is almost a certainly just given math and time left to untill landfall

Cat 5 is 919 and below.

Thank goodness there's nothing super populated between Tallahassee and Gainesville. Feel for the people affected though.

Same thing with a bowing segment of a line carrying 90+ mph winds. No tornado, no care for some folks. It doesn't matter at that point if the wind is rotating or not.
