Dorian's still pretty wide



it's actually physically wide too, in addition to the probability of where it will travel

so the east coast of Florida should still buckle the gently caress up for king tide + storm surge and a shitload of rain

Looks like a pretty good result. gently caress nerve-wracking if you're living there right in the path of it like "Well, they say it'll turn north ..."

if it actually does shift north like that still gonna suck for the florida coast because it's basically a cat2/3 storm parking itself in one spot for the better part of a day

it's just a different brand of suffering, imo

Florence hosed up the Carolinas but good even though it barely made landfall as an official hurricane (I think it was down to cat1) and frankly everything further inland than I dunno Leland was just down to the hilarious and terrifying amount of water deposited

What about where it's projected to hit land, will it just be weak enough to not be a big issue by then?

as long as the center of the wind field is out over open water down there it's going to remain a strong storm because the water is just so god drat warm

however the rainfall total projections for Florida have been SEVERELY curtailed in the last 24 hours so that is some good*^ news

There's still a substantial chance florida takes a direct hit, a ton of model runs show it hitting florida and the high pressure ridge that they thought would steer it suddenly north seems weaker than was expected

thats the margin of error on the path of the center of the storm, not the impacted area.

yeah the thing with hurricane forecasts is anything beyond about 72 hours is basically an educated guess hence the dramatic shift in projected direction only one or two of the spaghetti models called for a few days ago. even like thursday the consensus still had it tracking slightly to the south toward palm beach

They have the means to evacuate and the resources to absorb the property damage. They won't get hosed only the poor as always will

apparently nasa/nooa hasn't been able to get as much direct data on the storm from their flights because two of the planes they sent in yesterday got their windshields cracked by the storm and had to turn back lol.
