..AIRCRAFT MEASURES VERY LOW PRESSURE IN THE EYE OF MILTON...

Recent observations from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter
aircraft indicate the central pressure in the eye of Milton has
fallen to an estimated 905 mb (26.72 inches).

190mph into Key West. Lets shock the world.

How about not. I rather like going on vacation down there.

Tried to convince my (remote) coworker who lives NE of Bradenton to get out. People can be rather stubborn...at least they are a little higher in elevation than surrounding areas. Still going to be rough for them the way this is trending.

I'm in at 120mph landfall

Thanks, Shaggy. This is the last guess. Contest deadline has just passed. There are 13 entrants. Winner gets a free paid cruise into the eye of the next cat 5. An infinite amount of Dramamine will be provided. Also, an attorney will be available in case the winner doesn’t have a will.

There is a part of me that thinks the unraveling of Milton may be just as dramatic as the RI but I'm starting to question that some or at least think it's going to be too late to spare Florida

Looks like the super typhoons in the WPAC.

Sun setting always creates a vivid view of stadium effect. Shows just how deep the vertical stacking of the wall is.

Milton has produced 12.8 ACE over the last 48 hours!

 

[FortMillSCWx]

I consider myself a reasonably intelligent person, but still trying to figure out ACE and this helped ...not! "The ACE index is calculated using the formula ACE = 10-4Σv2, where v is the estimated sustained maximum wind speed in knots. The resulting figure is divided by 10,000 to make it more manageable"

Lots of strong tornadic supercells in the outer bands offshore Key West.
