Tampa is going to disappear. This will be HISTORIC. I decided to stay in town. Wish me luck.

Sure a slow moving Cat 3/4 can do a lot more damage than a fast moving Cat 5, that's most of why Katrina and Harvey are the most damaging Atlantic hurricanes on record, but a hurricane's forward speed isn't tied to the intensity fluctuations. Milton isn't going to do more damage if it loses intensity.

The MB is down to 905 now. I want to see the revised forecasts with this amount of power.

Andrew was pretty damn destructive, it just hit small spread out Florida towns instead of a major city built below sea level.

Obviously a cat 5 hurricane riding right up Tampa Bay would be end game levels of destruction, but they usually don't bullseye major cities.

That seems like a terrible job.

Surprised they're still flying P-3's too. I wonder if they'll just keep patching them together for eternity or eventually decide to move to something else. I wonder if the P-8 can handle that.

Would you trust an old P-3 built and designed by old white guys or a modern plane built and designed with DEI?

Actually shows the course 30 miles south of Tamp Bay on Zoom.Earth. Guess it took another small deviation.

It obviously doesn't tell the whole story about a storm's momentum. I think pressure, size, and wind speed are all relevant. A large storm with low pressure but only cat 3 could cause more damage than some of the burnout small cat 5s we've seen.

Shit changes and things have been here a long time. My house is 250 miles from the gulf at an elevation of just under 400 feet above sea level.

When I run the the turning disc through the ditch along the road to clear it out I have from time to time found shark teeth in the turnings.
