Tropical Hurricane Zeta

[Brent]

I assume you're being funny. To clarify for the record, that's not the low level center, which is til back in AL.

I was about to say I was just telling mom the center is near Anniston

49 mph gust at hartsfield.

Conditions deteriorating swiftly

Do you have an explanation for the depiction on satellite not aligning with the center of low pressure at the surface?

 

[Claycochaser]

Worst winds of the night here. Trees popping all over. Easy 60-70 gusts...

Good question. I actually don't but I suspect that is just something that randomly looks like an eye for some reason.

Winds picking up way over here somewhat surprisingly but I'm not expecting much here.

Wind making that howling sound here in Paulding County. Lights have flickered but for now power is on.

Worst winds of the night here. Trees popping all over. Easy 60-70 gusts...

here in Shelby county the worst was well after the precip shield moved out.
Easily most intense since Ivan if not further back.

gusting 40+ consistently here now..... this is a bad *****

Where is the eye or center?

85K power outages now in GA as of 4:05 AM

Power out at my parents place in Kennesaw already.

I’m in a few miles south of Cumming for this one

 

[GaWx]

50K power outages in GA as of 3:47am.

Now 85K: look out Atlanta! Look at the big increases to the W and SW of ATL:

Rome Ga NWS shows a wind speed of N/A.. Thanks, Obama.

Yep. I'm in Smyrna and its whipping here now. Not expecting to hang on for much longer. Way worse than Irma already.

Good question. I actually don't but I suspect that is just something that happens to look like an eye.

Fair enough.

To be clear, I wasn't trying to be funny. Why it's not aligned with the pressure fields at the surface, I couldn't answer either. But I don't think there's any question whether or not the depiction on satellite is associated with Zeta.

Regardless, seeing such a defined feature like that well inland is impressive to me.

Where is the eye or center?

Approaching Cedartown and Rome

The SE side has the worst winds

Those 60-70 mph winds in east Alabama will probably move right over Atlanta in a bit

 

[Snow_chaser]

For those back to our west in Alabama, how long is this lasting? A couple hours?
