Paging Larry......if Milton makes landfall around Sarasota....I must say, the EURO, AI and somewhat the UKMET (although it wast too far south fin the beginning for sure) overall*** did the best. HWRF and GFS were consistently too far NW with landfall.
 
This is called fading…

Thanks, Chris. How do you think the Icon has done?

HWRF was the lowest verification throughout the event

Watching some of these young relaxed hurricane hunters live in Bradenton beach makes me feel like I could do it.

This storm is a shell of its former self. Which is great news for Florida.
I watch Connor croff and Freddy Mckinny more than reed timmer. Reed screams too much and these young chasers are really good too
