Ah okay. Sorry for sharing it then.He's a pretty in/famous storm chaser.
He has a vested interest in embellishing storms, but Cat 5s are no joke.

Katrina actually made landfall as a 3.Jesus Christ. Please stay safe all you down in South Florida. I have family that live down there and I've already told them to gtfo just in case and they have thankfully. Can't take any chances with a hurricane this strong.
Not sure how reliable this guy is, but he has been apparently keeping up a running commentary for a few hours now.
No he basically does rescue ops for his "hype" storm chaser persona.Wait wait, does this fucker take his kids with him when he chases these storms?!
Damn. I had no idea. I just saw his tweets while I was going through two. I wouldn't have shared it if I knew he was just a hype man.No he basically does rescue ops for his "hype" storm chaser persona.
Broward peeps, you shuttering? I have mostly impact glass, but a few still use a few panels. I'm not worried about shuttering everything for 50-60mph sustained.
I don't need luck. I've got a case of IBC Root Beer. Bring it on!
Just git a report from our closest friend. Their concrete roof has blown completely off and try are hiding in the stone generator room in the back yard now.
Friends in Marsh Harbour now in attic as surge is filling their house.
Finishing our shuttering in about 30 minutes. Impact glass in most places but not all, so the shutters come out.Broward peeps, you shuttering? I have mostly impact glass, but a few still use a few panels. I'm not worried about shuttering everything for 50-60mph sustained.
Yes it is. It's a shame the Bahamas have to die for this though. That place is going get devastated.
TWC just said the average 48 hour track prediction error is 70 miles...so stay vigilant. That's a big 70 miles in this storms case.
Past Tuesday you should be fine to ship to Miami.May I know the estimated on when all this will be over?
I do no think it's a good time to have an expensive item shipped to Miami, Florida. To my courier. But I'm obliged to order the item soon :/
How close to the coast is she? Honestly Lightus if this fucker doesn't slow down in the next 12hrs she should drive inland. At least I would. However that is a personal choice, and maybe she can wait till local officials issue evacuation orders.Even if this stays East of FL and doesn't make landfall St Augustine will be getting cat 3/4 winds yeah? Trying to convince my mom to drive over to Gainesville and wait it out. She has storm shutters and her building is new so she should be fine but A1A is prone to flooding so I feel she'll be trapped inside for awhile until it receeds.

That's not good for Florida right?
Not quite as Allen topped out at 190mph. Still it's staggeringly strong and Allens record could be beaten.This is an unprecedented storm. HOLY SHIT!
It shows how much we still need to understand about meteorology. This was not even supposed to be a strong TS 5 days ago. Today we have arguably the strongest Hurricane on record in the North Atlantic.
Moving faster would be bad for FL yes. Reading chatter from some Mets they say its due to variables expecting the storm to be at a different position and forward speed than what is happening, along with no model expecting this storm to be what it is right now. No model had a CAT5 with close to 900mb pressure and 185 sustained winds at this point in time on the track.Wouldnt moving faster be bad for Florida? Why would that coincide with UKMet going east?
That's not good as all the current models rely on a multi hour stall for most of the day, without the stall all current forecasts will be off and the probability of it hitting the Florida coast head on increases exponentially
