The eye wall is still somewhat disorganized. People get too impressed with sprawling hurricanes but the really bad ones tighten up with an extremely well-defined eye.

I think it’s because this is a slow moving Hurricane which is of the greatest concern though.....more water over long periods trees topple foundations leak and lots of mud damage....

“People get too impressed with sprawling hurricanes but the really bad ones tighten up with an extremely well-defined eye.”

Remember Katrina? When it passed 200+ miles to the west of Tampa it was still disorganized, no eye. Tampa bay tides tho were 3’ above normal. I knew when I saw the flooding on Bayshore drive that day that Katrina was in reality one big, mean storm as it’s low pressure system extended hundreds of miles out.

Btw, this morning when I arrived at work in S. Tampa I noticed the clouds coming from the SE. I.e., feeding into this system from 300 miles away. Big, big storm coming. Bigger than the pointy heads figure right now. Not bigger than Shep. Smith will predict tho.
