Florence wasn't even supposed to hit land based on history. We saw how that went.
We might ALL "learn today"....as Kevin Hart says.I'm with you on the history part. There's a reason why there's been no cat 4 hurricanes in this area in 150 years of records. Until it happens I don't believe it is possible.
We certainly don’t have long to wait to see. As someone with a lot of history in Laguna and PCB, I hope one history repeats itself here.Yeah normally the upwelling and dry air would be an issue but Michael seems pretty walled off from dry air intrusion now that the core has its act together and is moving in tandem with the shear thus minimizing its effects. Michael is also showing signs of speeding up to the NNE or NE now which will minimize any upwelling and there isn't much time left until landfall and the pressure continues to drop at a very fast rate. I think we are about to see history made here, unfortunately.
Here's the most recent recon update with VDM pressure shown. From 947 to 932 since the first pass, very impressive.
926mb. Andrew was 922
And this how people gets hurt and killed. Thinking well it be ok we won’t get hurt. Then waiting to last min and thinking oh crap we done missed up. Beside that rant. I hope they are ok.Mike Bettes and crew were trying to leave Apalachicola, tried to leave, weather was too bad, so are staying now. Ruh roh.
I have a feeling Bettes will eventually die from one of these storms he chases. Wasn't he the one who nearly died chasing a tornado in Oklahoma when the tornado tossed his car in the air ?Mike Bettes and crew were trying to leave Apalachicola, tried to leave, weather was too bad, so are staying now. Ruh roh.
Michael appears deadset on writing hiw own history. Not good.So much for the rapid weakening. It's unfortunate to say the least for the people that didn't evacuate.
