Tropical Hurricane Isaias

Holy hell y’all. Been catching up and am blown away by how quickly the storm intensified from a hot “pathetic” mess to something pretty serious. When I fired up RadarScope just now the last image was basically slop, then all of a sudden I see a well-formed eye over Holden Beach. Y’all be safe!!! Which I could experience it!!!
 
This was from the NE corner of the recon path roughly 115 miles ENE of the center....

Got my rain gear ready, just drank a pot of coffee......bring it onnnnnnnnnn....

Radar loop looks like I will be east sided the whole time with the center 20 miles to west....MBY might not get the center at all but only by a little bit, basically what Jim Cantore is standing in right now is going to come over Pitt Co in 4 hrs....but will it be that bad away from the water....

Duke Energy in New Hanover with 70k customers in the dark, a little more than half of those served.
 
Looks like a tornado down near PCS mine on the south side of the Pam....luckily not to much down there and its about to go out over the river/sound
 
Made a serious NE turn unless it's just a wobble, HRRR determined it turns back north and comes right up 95

its just a wobble I think I ran a longer loop and its more or less on track with the NHC track.....but it will wobble a bit side to side
 
In a bit of a dry slot for the moment then my next batch of rain should be from the core as the eye goes by just west of me or barely over me.

Starting to notice the breeze pick up but still very quiet for the time being. If the models and NWS in should see a rapid uptick in winds over the next hour.
 
Tornado warning popping up every couple of mins on my phone cells in that band to my east producing a lot of nasty couplets....
