What about Dog Island?
Wonder how long it will take for it to say "tweet unavailable"

It seems like the winds at reporting stations are never as high as the maximum sustained winds in a hurricane. What are the odds any station in Florida is going to report sustained winds of 100+ mph ?
Probably zero considering the sparsely inhabited coastline and compact nature of this storm.

The euro don't seem to do well with strength of hurricanes. The gfs was always 10-15 mb stronger and it will be closer to reality before all set and done
0z NAM a lot weaker at landfall and comes off the SC coast at about SAV! 
Well this is wrong because this will be a Cat 4 atleast at landfall
Is this an ERC???
Yes
