One thing learned from the last hurricane which devastated the Carolinas is that Category # doesn’t tell the whole story of a storm’s destructive power.
Having been alive during Camille, what I remember is quiet fear when discussing it afterwards. To this day. Hopeful this one doesn’t take the same toll.

Pressure 923 mb is ONE millibar above Hurricane Andrew 1992.

Her’s another person writing about the wind yesterday...
“It’s as windy today in Jacksonville as it was in Orlando when Matthew came through and the hurricane is still a day away from even coming remotely close to us.”

That will be lowered. Recon found sub-920 reading a few minutes ago.

Breaking News Verified account @BreakingNews 9s9 seconds ago In a special statement, NWS says Hurricane Michael continues to strengthen as it nears landfall on the Florida Panhandle, and winds have increased to 150 mph -- a very strong Cat. 4.
To: dirtboy
is lowering pressure worse? I just look at wind speed. How do the correlate?

Generally speaking, they go hand-in-hand: pressure lowering increases the rush of air trying to fill the vacuum that’s being created, hence higher winds.

The weather guy in Apalachicola is in a bad spot for flooding... not a lot of high rises or high ground there I think
To: DCBryan1
Yes, lower pressure means higher wind speeds.
To: DCBryan1
Wind speed increase tends to lag a bit behind pressure drop. Pressure of 920 could result in borderline cat-5 winds. What is worse is the storm is strengthening upon landfall - far worse than the typical weakening of storms as they approach the Gulf coast.

Your anecdotes don’t trump the Jax Naval Station data I provided to you. Let us know when you find a reputable source for 70-80 mph winds in Jacksonville yesterday.

Surprised not to see any Kamikaze surfers out there.

TRU DAT!
Wow, the latest sat signature is an almost absolute perfect circle eye.
I really feel sorry for the people of Panama City, Apalachicola, Mexico Beach and Tyndall AFB.
Also, the path od devastation will not stop there, Tallahassee, Dothan and even Albany, GA could see 100+ MPH winds before the day is out. This monster is going to create destruction for miles inland.
