FlamingLiberal posted:What models are you looking at? https://www.cyclocane.com/lee-spaghetti-models/ At least as I understand it, almost all the models have it getting caught up in Margot pulling it northeast, if it doesn't get caught up in Margot it heads for south Florida.

Margot isn’t the real reason for movement here. It’s the low pressure system that is going to dig in west of the storm over the southeast US.

Those models saying 200 knot speeds that's pacific super typhoon speed

It’s the low pressure system that is going to dig in west of the storm over the southeast US. Not out of the woods, stranger things have happened etc. but it should steer fairly clear. But also the fish track will still involve nasty weather for the east coast in most eventualities.

I would be more concerned if I lived in the NE or maritime Canada as once this moves north, there is a lot more spread in terms of track
|
# ? Sep 8, 2023 16:16 |
|
Yeah I'm probably being too blase calling it a fish storm. With the current track forecasts it's gonna be lucky to clear Bermuda in a week and any models giving data past 5 days are lies and climatology so the NE and maritimes are still on the menu.

I think it will be a fish storm, but still one hell of a fish storm!

Apparently it’s weakened slightly because of some moderate shear per the NHC but it’s still a murdercane

It also looks like it could be going directly through the Bermuda triangle, so there's a good chance it will just disappear in there never to be seen again.

The hurricane will bring with it all the ghosts and ships from the Bermuda triangle with it instead to finally take revenge on Florida

I don't know how those hurricane hunters do it. Absolutely insane. I've had bad turbulence on airliners and one time it popped up so quick that I left the bathroom and started walking back to my seat and immediately got slammed against a wall or two before a steward tackled me and jumped on me to hold me down. The seatbelt sign turned on shortly after lol. It was the flight to boot camp and I was terrified anyway so this was just awful. I've flown my own small aircraft in bad turbulence (Cessna 152/172 and a tiny Flight Design CTLS) and I get sick but I'm in control at least so I can just like..... leave the area and land. These psychos fly through the eye wall of a loving hurricane on purpose. I mean, they're god drat heroes but jesus gently caress. No thank you.

the last couple posts had me curious, so i dug this uphttps://www.mos.org/pulsar/hurricane-hunters-pt1 posted:ERIC: So what is it about the planes themselves that make them able to fly through these storms? Are there any special modifications or features that make them separate from another Orion? the interview also mentions that they fly at about 8000-10000 feet which is supposed to be the calmer part to enter a hurricane

The weather underground guy (no, the other one) retired from the military to pursue civilian meteorology degrees when the hurricane hunter he was on accidentally flew into cat 5 Hugo at 1500ft and had to circle around the eye for an hour doing damage control and climbing to an actual sane height.
