Maybe they should alter the categories to use natural phenomena like wind speed or something instead of rate of damage to man built structures.

I knew where it was located. Check the pressure record. It is dropping fast as it should be.
To: Openurmind
Gotcha. Ha-not as fast as its about to be. This thing is almost steady state. Bottom is about to fall out of the pressure. There are a couple of chasers at landfall location. We havent heard from them since this morning (assuming comm issues-hopefully). Cant wait to see their vids. The stuff Ive seen so far off of Twitter has been incredible and disturbing.

Wish they had buoy cams right off Miami. The nearest one is quite a bit north.
To: Openurmind
As a pro-met I wish we had data points everywhere. But-we have a lot more data points than when I started in 1987 thats for sure.

That is the station to watch though, Looks like it is right in the path and it should hit it fairly soon.
To: IrishBrigade
Exactly my point!!
They (leftists) never get that.

Don’t be surprised if we find out they were padding the numbers after all is said and done.

If you look at the Florida houses that were built along the coasts in the 50’s and 60’s you see lots of concrete and flat roofs for a reason. I lived in one in S. Daytona in college. Cinder block construction on a slab with a flat, tar-gravel roof, 1/2 mile from the intercoastal waterway.

recon has verified it with SFMR data. SFMR is still being developed. It's in the prototype stage now and is not used for verifying anything. Estimations, yes, verification no. Calibration techniques using SFMR are still being developed using ground station data. And yes, I'm a professional microwave Engineer.

Any chance this thing doesn’t turn and continues West towards southwest Florida? After dealing with Irma, I don’t trust any of the models.
To: piasa
Thanks, that’s info new to me. Few palms here at 46N latitude but I have visited tropical and semi-tropical areas in calm conditions.

Not sure what you are suggesting but tornadoes vary in strength. The EF0-EF5 scale goes from light damage to catastrophic. Most tornadoes are weak and cause little damage. This hurricane, and others, have had wind gusts well above 200 MPH, equal to an EF4 or EF5 tornado. There is no EF6 tornado either...
