Eta Eta Bo Beta
Banana nana fo feta..
5-6 days over Nicaragua and Honduras. Flooding is going to be biblical.
Anyone who wants to see what a slow-moving hurricane can do to Central America, look up the history of Hurricanes Mitch, Stan and FiFi.
This is a strange one..Heads up S/SW Fla
ML/NJ
I am really concerned about FL water/flooding issues
Lake okeechobee is very high at 16.26 ft, it has been very wet
and the water storage areas in the everglades are way above regulation where they want them at this time of year
Irma raised Lake okeechobee from 13.7 ft to 17.2 feet
they don’t like it above 15.5 because it puts pressure on the aging dike (which is being upgraded)
even is ETA doesn’t hit FL directly..the rain could
by the way ETA looks like a high end SAT 4/CAT 5 to me
last 2 recon planes had issues and had to return to base
oh thank you God....a thread not about the election fraud, etc and about a good ol fashioned weather event....

At Last
How embarrassing. At first I thought Eta meant estimated time of arrival
Glad to be done for this year.
What a ‘cane season....sheesh.
Here in Western Panama, it rained for some 20 hours yesterday and is raining again today although not as hard. The sun actually emerged for about ten minutes.
Stopppp ((((Hugs))))
This has got got be CAT 5 now
Recon is in the central Gulf heading towards it
last two recons had issues and had to turn around
I assume NHC will bump he winds up at 7pm to 140ish
but not CAT 5 winds yet pending recon
Definitely one weird storm to watch.
Hurricane Eta Discussion Number 10
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL292020
1000 PM EST Mon Nov 02 2020
An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft has found that Eta has
explosively deepened into a strong category 4 hurricane with maximum
sustained winds of 130 kt and a minimum central pressure of 927 mb.
Eta has maintained a small 10-nmi-wide eye that is evident in
satellite imagery and on the San Andreas, Colombia, weather radar.
The radar data also suggest that concentric eyewalls may be forming,
which would be an indication of the onset of an eyewall replacement
cycle (ERC) and a capping of Eta’s intensity and also an end to the
rapid intensification cycle of the past 36 hours. The initial
intensity of 130 kt kt is based on 700-mb flight-level winds of 137
kt and SFMR surface winds of 130 kt. Some additional strengthening
is expected, and Eta could become a category 5 hurricane before
landfall occurs. After landfall, Eta should quickly weaken while it
moves over the mountainous terrain of Central America.
Eta has slowed and is now moving southwestward or 245/06 kt. There
is no significant change to previous track forecast reasoning. A
mid-level ridge over the south-central United States should steer
Eta west-southwestward toward the coast of Nicaragua with the
hurricane making landfall early Tuesday. After landfall, Eta should
turn westward and then west-northwestward, and move across Central
America through Thursday. Eta’s low-level circulation may not
survive its passage over the mountainous terrain of Central America,
but most of the global models continue to depict a cyclone or its
remnants moving over the northwestern Caribbean Sea by late-week and
into the weekend. Therefore, the new NHC track forecast continues to
show the system emerging over the northwestern Caribbean late in the
period, although this portion of the track forecast remains
uncertain.
Since Eta is likely to be a very slow-moving system after it makes
landfall in Central America, torrential rains and flooding will be
a major threat.
Key Messages:
1. Catastrophic wind damage is expected where Eta’s eyewall moves
onshore along the northeastern coast of Nicaragua tonight or early
Tuesday. Tropical storm force winds are beginning to reach the
coast within the Hurricane Warning area in Nicaragua, and residents
there should have completed their preparations. A Tropical Storm
Warning is also in effect for the northeastern coast of Honduras.
2. A catastrophic and life-threatening storm surge, along with
destructive waves, are expected along portions of the northeastern
coast of Nicaragua near and to the north of where the center makes
landfall. Water levels could reach as high as 14 to 21 feet above
normal tide levels in some parts of the hurricane warning area.
Preparations to protect life and property should now be complete.
3. Through Friday evening, heavy rainfall from Eta will likely
lead to catastrophic, life-threatening flash flooding and river
flooding across portions of Central America, along with landslides
in areas of higher terrain. Flash and river flooding is also
possible across Jamaica, southeast Mexico, El Salvador, southern
Haiti, and the Cayman Islands.
