All these weather people talking that the hurricane had 150+mph.
Well it did - at 700 millibars (10,000’).
Surface winds were generally at 80 -100 mph. Or less.
EXACTLY
I’ve been trying to get people to understand this and the danger in promoting inflated numbers which could result in the populace underestimating a future storm that does have 120+ mph winds... but at ground level, like Andrew.
I’m so sorry if it is.
So what do they use to determine the Category then, ground winds or winds at 10,000 feet? And is it so normal for there to be a disparity between the two?
Makes sense—this hurricane’s main threat was storm surge—but of course that can do an incredible amount of damage in its own right.

Most are mobile homes/double-wides; however stick-builts fared no better.
Had a neighbor send me a pic of my house. The house is intact, water seems to have stayed at the street/lawn area. My fence is there but down, as expected and some shingles missing. I fared a lot better than most. Will be heading back this weekend to help where I can and clean up my area. Neighbor said we never lost power which is good. Had the AC cranked to keep the tropical moisture out of the house.
They are reporting more than a foot of rain in Orlando and a lot of flooding.
“Hurricanes make things really windy and sometimes windy things fall over as we saw in Florida things are very windy but sometimes it rains too so that’s why this administration will continue to do the things that make the thing less windy yesterday today and tomorrow”

I hope that is some kind of internet joke and not a real quote, otherwise we are worse off than I thought.
It’s a joke right? Please?
The fact you have to ask that says a lot, not about you of course, but about our VP.
Hahahahaha🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
only winds below 200 ft matter as they’re the only winds effecting people.
just like the jet stream and it’s 200+ mph winds at 6+ miles... storm winds at 10,000+ ft are irrelevant.
but they do grab headlines, draw eyeballs, and promote the ‘global warming’ narrative
