Good luck . One of my closest friends lives in Port St. Lucie. He's not going anywhere.

Haven't looked through the 94 pages to see if this is posted, but LSU, in collaboration with a few local companies and several other major universities has made great strides in storm surge modelling and helps facilitate this site, which provides the best near-real-time surge predictions out there.

Feel free to add it to the initial post. This website has and will continue to track all Atlantic and gulf storms.

Neither am I. I mean, I was just a kid when the '04 season hit this area - and the worst damage we had was a fallen tree (small, newly planted) at the end of my driveway.

As I've posted here, I just got out of the USMC, my family is evacuating, and I'm gonna stay here to get a head start on the recovery/cleaning process.

Good luck to your friend, I'm sure we'll all be okay (assuming you're not on the coast).

Yeah, for clarity those are wind gusts 10 meters off the ground, which could be up to 30mph higher than sustained winds, but it still gives you a good idea of what could be expected.

This.
I don't know, growing up in south Florida (especially where that '04 season had the two hurricanes hit us weeks apart), it never has seemed that the winds at ground level have been what they called for. It's one reason why I'm not too worried about where I'm at right now.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like the highest forecasted surge is 6.5 to 8 feet high between Titusville and Daytona Beach.

Looks like we are going to be decent hurricane force gusts here in downtown Orlando, or worse.

Two questions for the meteorologically informed on here



Is this loop because of Matthew interacting with Nicole in a Fujiwara interaction?

Also, I noticed the eye for Matthew is now occluded. Is this 1)An eyewall replacement cycle 2)Condensed Dense Overcast or CDO 3)Somehow sucking in dry air from somewhere?

Thanks

Just got notice that state workers are not to report to the office for Thursday and Friday all along the eastern seaboard.

A little (big) difference between Andrew and Matthew.
I understand the need for precaution, but let's not be stupid.

Plus, Homestead at the time didn't exactly have the most up-to-par codes as is mentioned above.

My area is a little different, and I can only speak on my experiences. Again, I'm not too horribly concerned about this - as long as a tree doesn't land on my head.

This is the shitty catch-22 of forecasting the weather. Err on the side of caution and people remember things being overblown and disregard future warnings. Underestimate an event and the survivors will want your head on a stake.
