@lexxnchloe & everyone..
Idalia WAS NOT a *CAT 3*..
A CAT ONE..
Yes, it hit as a Cat3 - supposedly. EXCEPT: Perry, which from the radar that morning looks to have taken the eyewall in the face, only has reports
of Cat 1 wind GUSTS. So
where are the Cat3 winds? The
screaming about it being a 4 or even worse was incessant for
days. It didn't happen and from what I can see even the claims of a 3 are
--------; the reported wind speeds
from the ground supported a Cat 1, which is exactly what I expected would happen. Why didn't the monster
everyone claimed was "muuuh~global~warming" happen?
The NHC printed several sustained wind numbers; I didn't see triple-digit ones in their list
anywhere, including in places
that the eyewall absolutely did hit, such as Perry.
In other words,, as with everything else these days
its fake, gay, and catastrophized.
THINK.. THIS, was BARELY a hurricane. Maybe. Keaton Beach, the NHC and screamers forget, has a NOAA weather station. The eyewall made landfall at Fish Creek about 2 miles from there; I watched it on radar yesterday morning. Here's the pressure and wind from the station, which did not fail at any time during it.
MEH ya'll "wonder" why I don't post on that *other* board..
