What's your weather?

[Daydreamer]

About a third of the models now have the hurricane staying a 5 on landfall and possibly even maintaining status as a 4 THROUGH the state, aka cat 4+ winds in ORLANDO.

This is some of the craziest data I've ever seen out of a hurricane in all of my years of weather tracking.

Can you link any of these? I'm not doubting it really considering just how fast it's increased but everything I'm seeing from google is still showing landfall at 3.

Either way Tampa is gonna get wrecked.

180mph winds

Milton has been sustaining 180mph+ winds. It's one of the strongest storms ever recorded.

Now 898mb. The sixth storm in history in the Atlantic.

There have been plenty of storms with winds of 180mph. I hope it weakens as it moves north.

FYI, it is the second fastest to go from a cat 1 to 5.

Milton is nearing the mathematical maximum for how strong a storm on Earth can get.

It will ~probably~ be a 3 at landfall. But this storm has completely defied expectations the entire time.

I tend to be bullish on these storms because it really seems like the NHC modeling conglomerate hasn't adjusted for how they rapidly and unexpectedly intensify these days. I'm going to say it'll be a low-mid 4.

have a cousin in fort myers. says she’s not in an evacuation zone so she’s staying. she’s more worried about the aftermath than the storm. hope she’s right

I have always thought the Airmen of the 403rd Wing Air Force Reserve "Hurricane Hunters" are some of the bravest people on the planet.

I'd love to be up in one of those.

Btw, there's only been one recon plane in history that's gone down. It was over 70 years ago.
