Anything past Category 5 doesn't matter, the damage and devastation is the same: complete destruction. A flattened building at 280kmh or 320kmh is still a flattened building. That's what the categories are about, not intensity but level of destruction.

to get in the mood for this weeks costal annihilation some recommended book reading is The Water Will Come

it’s more how Miami is super hosed, but it was a great read on how flooding + super storms are just going to drown out the coastal cities and how we are woefully underprepared

the tornado scale is the same thing. an ef5 can rip a house off its foundation and throw it down the street and rip the grass up out of the ground, there does not need to be anything more

It's not Cat 5 yet that one dropsonde supports a gust speed not sustained. NHC would probably go with around 125kt presently, need 135 for Cat 5.

Ain't easy looking this eggstraordinary.

our apartment complex just sent an email reminder that tenants are "covered" by renter's legal liability coverage, which they specifically say does not cover anything related to the storm.

in the same e-mail they remind us to get flameless candles because burning candles is prohibited by our lease.

It's currently a 120kt cat 4 hurricane not close to a 135kt cat 5 hurricane like some people were thinking earlier due to one dropsonde from aircraft recon that showed higher gusts.

The 18z best track init is used to initialize the strength of the vortex for model runs that come out at 18z (e.g. 6pm Zulu time). It is good to use for intensity estimates in between advisories from the NHC
