From first obs, looks like winds aren't mixing down to ground level very well unless I'm missing something. Storm surge and flooding seem to be the biggest issues.

Yeah didn't have time to really catch up to the pressure falls....needed a ERC and 12 more hrs before landfall to really get that going.

This will be the big story of this storm...surge looks to be huge in some places.

You’re right. Even in places that were a considerable distance from the eye and despite it being such a compact storm. This was my concern the other night that surge estimates seemed low for a category 3 coming in at a full moon along a stretch of coast that is very susceptible to surge.
