You better be bringing 50 gallons of gas with you

Going to be wild in both Madison, FL and Perry, FL tomorrow morning. Could see sustained winds in one or both towns close to 90 mph and wouldn't be surprised to see a 120 mph gust in one or both towns.

Traffic is extremely light. I know it's almost midnight Eastern.
Just expected a little more traffic.
Zoom'd in in Tallahassee; some orange and red around town..still not too bad

I’m heading there on Thursday. Probably just plan on getting in at night now.

Ok seriously. If you had plans to head out of BR at 1 on Wednesday for Orlando how would you work around this? I’m considering stopping at a hotel before Tallahassee and waiting for I10 to open up Thursday morning.

Is a 34’ wave normal for a storm this size? Sorry if it’a a dumb question. It’s Amazing the buoys can register all of that info.

I would. I remember when Matthew just did a drive by and we got rocked. I’m guessing it going right over us will be worse.
Posted on 8/29/23 at 10:52 pm to Dudley Humptyfrats
Yeah, I’ll keep monitoring it. Seems like things are changing every couple hours.

The most impressive convection around the eye thus far. Lightning to boot.

What’s the population like on the coast in the big bend? I seem to feel like it’s lightly populated which would’ve a blessing

Just trees and small communities. Unfortunately a few won't be accessible for a while.

One of the most unpopulated areas in the state.

We have live camera systems along with two precision weather stations, and several GoPro camera systems, set up from St. Petersburg to Perry in Florida.
We covered Crystal River, Cedar Key, and Horseshoe Beach. We also have Steinhatchee.
You can monitor the cameras live through our crowdfunding project via Patreon by going to hurricanetrack.com
I am also proud to be working with @foxweather who will have shots from the cameras during their coverage from time to time.

Tuesday evening (Florida): I'm done location scouting. I've got 3 options for riding out Hurricane IDALIA in the Big Bend region of Florida: W, middle, and E.
Now, I watch and wait (And obsess over every radar frame). I'll choose my final location in the wee hours. But I've got Kestrel Weather and Environmental Meters collecting high-res data at all three locations.
P.S. There was a sweet sunset tonight. It's always like that just before a monster hurricane. Nature's deception, I guess.

I'd probably go further up in alabama/jawjuh and pass down the east coast of Florida then back down

Waves within hurricanes in open ocean can be huge, particularly "freak" waves. Ivan may have set the standard on this:
quote:
When Ivan entered the Gulf of Mexico, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory ocean-floor pressure sensors detected a freak wave, which was caused by the hurricane. The wave was around 91 feet (28 m) high from peak to trough, and around 660 feet (200 m) long.[4] Their computer models also indicated that waves may have exceeded 130 feet (40 m) in the eyewall.[5]
I don't know how 34' stacks up on average, though.
