Extreme hype and baseless information unless you purchase his weatherbell subscription. He seems to be a zombie for promoting them on twitter and also hyping up every hurricane. Also the paint maps. Some of us here have been on weather boards long enough to know who else liked to make paint maps lol. :confused:

TY for the response.....and that is a problem on my side of things, i dont care which person wrote something i only care about the content written.....not here to make friends bash others or any other social goals, just here to find information about weather events and seek the truth.

quite a few posts in the nate thread bash Joe B.....to me a response in the last few minutes also bashed him, having seen Joe B comment for many years the claim he hypes every hurricane is patently false....edited to change my avatar from a 1971 picture from college not college that one was 2 months later in the USAF to a much more recent publicity photo

Agreed, I haven’t been this constantly engaged in the Atlantic hurricane season since the insane 2005 season. I also don’t know what’s scarier the fact that I said Nate would reach 100mph on the bullish side or the fact that I may not have been bullish enough.
 
serious question, are hurricanes now determined by extrapolating the upper air wind speed down to the ground? i ask because the actual ground readings recently have been nowhere near the claimed sustained winds of the hurricanes.....

gotta remember winds quickly decrease when they hit any kind of structure on land

The max sustained winds are what you experience at the beach

and a lot of times reporting stations lose communications in a hurricane too and stop reporting
 
i remain confused, help me understand which is it the storms rapidly weaken when they hit land or as YOU and others have been saying this storm will hold its power because it is moving so fast?
