Not a nothingburger, but definitely underwhelming given the storm we had 36 hours ago. Unlikely we see confirmed winds anywhere over 100mph, and surge no more than 8-10 feet. Thankful for those spared.

People are underestimating the amount of storm surge damage that this is going to cause for some areas.

People will think FL dodged a bullet but Sarasota/Bradenton down to Port Charlotte is a very populated area. Over a million people in the metro area. And Fort Myers getting hit hard too
It looks like that station has lost its anemometer so perhaps some higher gust.

And sometimes more sense. Testosterone running through veins doesn't always lead to the most... ahem.. rational and healthy decisions and hobbies.

I remember the April 98 outbreak. Was in College and had one come through our campus. Hard to believe it's been that long.
Guaranteed they will reanalyze it lower during the off season to make us wrong.

Lexx is on standby with her 110 for the possible win lol.
Seriously though, I think the 120 will stay. The lowest pressure of 954 is consistent with a midrange cat 3. And the overall impacts are seeming like a cat 3 to me. And the NHC did a great job overall.
I don’t see much of anything underwhelming about this storm vs earlier predictions in terms of winds, surge, flooding rains, and especially tornadoes. This is a very high impact storm for FL imho. And this is by a good margin the strongest storm landfall in the area in over 100 years based on pressure and winds. Great job NHC!

I can't believe they setup cots on the field to shelter thousands of first responders in a dome roofed with fabric at ground zero.
I have nothing good to say.
Where the storm was 36 hours ago is irrelevant as never was it expected by the NHC to come in anywhere close to that. For some reason, you’re comparing it to something that was never going to happen.

Yeah tbh I'm surprised it was as in tact as it was... Some of the hurricane models were totally gutting it
I think it helped a lot landfall sped up if this had languished into tomorrow like thought it would have been even weaker
I see the winds are quite strong on the NE Florida coast. What are you expecting out your way later on as the storm exits the coast?
