Now a category 1 hurricane with 75mph sustained winds. This will be first hurricane to hit Florida in 11 years.
Getting better organized, convection wrapping around its center finally.
Models still not sure over VA/MD-NJ impacts with storm stalling very close to shore this weekend into early next week as a big nor-easter essentially with expanded wind field = wider impact reach.
I'm worried about my kids and grandkids they are right in the path of that thing and so are two of my widowed sister in laws I told them to be careful and to call me when they can and let me know that they are okay ...
There she is...officially a Hurricane now. Seeing images of flooding in Florida. Some areas passing 10" of rain.
Radar, Satellite, metar loops last 4hrs
So how long has it been? Over 10 yrs or something since U.S had a landfall??
Just under 11 years since Florida's last landfall, with Wilma in 2005. Pretty sure Hurricane Sandy in 2012 made landfall in New Jersey as a very weak Category 1 hurricane, and Hurricane Irene in 2011 made landfall as a Cat 1 in North Carolina, Delaware and New Jersey.
Front pushing off the Northeast coast.
High Pressure coming down from Canada
Hurricane about to hit Florida.
Timing with everything on the map is INCREDIBLE to see why it's taking the path its about to take. If that front or HP was 12hrs faster this Tropical Cyclone would of just went OTS instead of come up the coast and stall
we have a famly trip planned to leave VA come Saturday to OBX. what do you guys think? wait it out a day? how will beaches be down in the outer banks by then?
