Recon plane is flying waaaay out of the hurricane influence. I wonder whats going on here. It hasbt turned for more passes.


This is a normal pattern for these flights. It'll eventually go around the south and make a SE to NW pass.

My stepfather stayed in St Bernard for Katrina. Get ready for a couple days of not knowing much, I’m sorry to say. He swore he’d never do that his his kids again.

Im not saying its not 173mph but Super Reflectivity is velocity in relation to fixed station, not storm relative. Take out its 15mph movement and its in that 150mph wheel house.

Also remember that the radar providing that data is pointed a half degree up according to that screenshot. At 100 miles, that's several thousand feet in the air, so just keep that in mind.

Extreme Wind Warnings so far inland were warranted given that Michael remained a strong hurricane as it tracked inland. The eye crossed into Seminole County, GA, around 6:00 pm EDT as a category 3 hurricane, traveling forward at 13 mph with maximum sustained wind speeds of 115 mph. It weakened to a Category 2 hurricane by 7:00 pm EDT as it traveled across southern Georgia, with maximum sustained wind speeds of 100 mph. Michael became a tropical storm around 12:00 am EDT on October 11, with the eye located over central Georgia. With the catastrophic winds tracking well inland, the strong winds were observed well into Georgia. Donaldsonville, GA which is located approximately 80 mi from the location of landfall, experienced a gust of 115 mph. It is very rare to see storms maintain their intensity this well so far inland.


Leesville is 95 miles from landfall and Laura is moving faster than Michael.

Sheaux, you can’t force them. Call and say what you need to say, pray and hope for the best.

I’m so sorry.

I wouldn't be surprised if Lake Charles got hit by the NE/E side of the eye. Lafayette is hopefully prepared.

Would it help folks by telling them a percentage forecast.
Say 50% chance of a cat 2, 25% of s 3 and etc.? At least people would know several days ahead of time if the storm could hit major. The way they forecasted Laura did not serve the public’s best interest IMHO.

In the OT experts' opinions, what do you honestly think those % would have been, say Monday? I still think they would have listed it as a high %, probably >60%, of Cat 2 or less.
