Here's what I was talking about.

I circled the extreme cells with purple.

First, I wish all of those in line of this storm the best, and I pray for everyone's safety. I have an uncle in Hallandale, and I wish I had called him today. I need to find skeeto's map to see how close he really is.

Second, I want to thank Phil for the fine job he has done moderating these boards. I was very upset to get a PM from him tonight expressing his frustrations with respect to some comments directed at him. They are undeserved. If you think it's hard reading all the posts, think of how hard it is to MODERATE them. The football comment was made by us because we felt the NFL was being shallow-minded with respect to the most important issues down there, like everyone's lives and property. That was an issue, and even though it wasn't about the storm per se, it was an issue nonetheless.
I know this is off-topic, and feel free to remove this, but I don't want to lose Phil, and we are close. No one person is as important as the situation at hand, but this is a person that really cares about all of you down there-like his extended family.
I am not going to say I understand what everyone is going through, because I don't. I have never been through that. I do imagine tempers can be short-(displaced anger?)

While I'm off-topic, I may as well go all the way. I am tired of watching everyone with a microphone and a camera stand in the middle of a violent hurricane. Some may think "if they can survive it, so can I", and that is dangerous. Sadly, nothing will change as long as nothing bad happens, but no one actually breaks new scientific ground out there-and to me it is irresponsible.

I don't want to leave out the other mods, but Phil does a lot of heavy lifting around here. THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOU DO.

Mike,
Wow, look at the comma that Jeanne is producing! indicative of powerful storms.
Anyone want to make a guess as to projected paths? My gut is still telling me WWNW (i.e. Tampa) Those steering currents in the GOM are really messed up. I talked about it a little this morning and nobody would acknowledge or agree with me. I am no Forecaster but "What you see is what you get"! and I am sorry to say, Hang On my fellow Floridians! We have done this three times in the past six weeks, and if you turn the volume up on your battery powered radio, the strange noises coming from your house are not as bad!

Gulf of Mexico, Right? I'm a newbeeie too. Figured that one out after a while.

Skeetobites graphics and the links on this site are what kept me coming back. Starting reading the posts after a while, registered, and got hooked. I'm addicted. Thanks to everyone for their hard work! This is a great site. I voted for it too.

Wouldn't a comma shape on radar be indicative of mesocyclonic(tornadic) storms?

Urgh, can't type worth a dang.....

NBC-2 and ABC-7 from Fort Myers are doing another joint broadcast as they did for Charley. They just issued a caution that Jeanne will be coming across Lake Okeechobee as she continues on her westerly track (actually, they said she is moving a hair to the south as well). I am in North Central Collier County, so this is not the best move for us. I don't think I'll get much sleep tonight.

Thanks to everyone for their terrific posts. I've learned tons. Be safe!

First things first, LI Phil works his arse off ...
And according to MSNBC the mayor of Vero Beach is saying that they could expect winds of 150mph later on tonight and in Sebastian, Fl it's about 80mph sustained and 100mph gusts....


Well, if the mayor said it, like I said earlier, consider the source.
And I don't know where the stuff on Phil came from, but (like I said earlier, consider the source) ...
We love ya Phil!

We are only a couple of miles from Lutheran Haven, and yes...it was a mess after Charley. Thank goodness, we faired much better during Frances. This one? Not too sure yet. Looking better for us with each new track, but not wanting to let my guard down yet.

I haven't seen the sat pics or radar, but if he is seeing it on the sat pic, it is called a convective tail. Jeanne pummelled (sp?) Puerto Rico with a convective tail, as that is where they got most of their rains.
Comma signatures on pre-Doppler radars were the only signs that a storm might have rotation, and the notice might be 5 minutes if that. They can have that appearance, although the best way to find one on radar is to look at the radial velocities within the storm.

Good night all, and please be safe.

Jeanne is already north of Lake Okechobee... Not sure what they are seeing ? Its definitely not what the latest NHC track is saying..

Jeff,
(In my opinion and maybe only my opinion) unfortunately yes, it seems that the storms with a tail (Comma) seem to produce more tornadic activity and also have more severe NE eyewalls. I am basing this on Satellite imagery of storms in the past 20 years in the Atlantic and Pacific regions.

My comment about football had nothing to do with Phil.

But it is disgusting to me that it is more important to people whether a football game is going to be played or not when over 2000 people were killed by Jeanne already, and it will likely kill more.

How can anyone even think about something as petty as a football game when millions of lives are are stake?

Bill
