Tropical Major Hurricane Michael

[NoSnowJoe]

I seriously hope that people in the panhandle have evaucated.

My wife just talked to a high school friend who lives in Panama City about 40 miles inland from the beach and they are staying home in a double wide trailer, she is trying to talk the into going to a shelter.

If it keeps up, the SW side of Michael's eye will likely be closed off within the next hour or so.

Show them the image that Rolltide18 just posted... That turning into a beast before our very eyes may get their attention.

And he will be knocking the doors off the barn....

Alluded to this earlier this morning but Michael moving away from the cold core eddy that it passed over last night and this morning is likely a big reason why we're seeing this storm undergo more significant intensification and finally close off its eyewall.

Could easily be strongest landfall on record in the Panhandle

Eye rapidly clearing out in the last 15 minutes.

You can literally see how much faster the rotation got just by looking at the Water Vapor loop. Vicious

Florida emergency management tweeted this out about 20 minutes ago, I wonder if they're having issues with residents not heeding the evac orders...

Here in the panhandle things are business as usual. Much different than with Florence. Businesses are open people don’t seem worried, no emergency crews around. Wouldn’t guess a major hurricane was 18 hours out

I have a friend who lives just off Front Beach Road and she isn’t leaving, I told her I will see her at her funeral. Stupid stupid STUPID. Pooping stupid.

40 miles inland from PCB the ECMWF shows 90 to 120 mph wind gusts. The way it's looking on satellite makes me think the latter is much more likely now.

I didn't see it until just recently as I wasn't feeling so good after eating dinner but my NWS dropped some Tropical Storm Warnings/Watches with some strong wording for being pretty far inland yeesh... I'm pretty sure Augusta is going to be pretty much shut down again on Thursday like the main days with Irma like last year again.

We have friends who have a 4th floor condo on front beach road right on the beach.
Power has been cut off to the building and they will not leave.

This last SW-NE quad pass thru Michael was the strongest yet by the hurricane hunters, 130 KT flight level winds w/ SFMR near 110 KT.
