Any idea what Doppler radar velocities translate to at the surface?
SATELLITE AND RADAR INDICATED THAT JEANNE CONTINUES MOVING TOWARDS
ABOUT 285 DEGREES AT 14 MPH. THE EYE REMAINED VERY LARGE AND
DOPPLER RADAR IS NOW STARTING TO INDICATE VELOCITIES OVER 120 KNOTS
IN THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT OUT OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. MAJOR
DAMAGING WINDS ARE LIKELY TO SWEEP ONSHORE DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS...STARTING ALONG THE TREASURE COAST AND EVENTUALLY REACHING UP
TO SOUTHERN BREVARD COUNTY. THIS MEANS THAT FURTHER HISTORY WILL BE
MADE IN THIS ALREADY HISTORICAL YEAR FOR FLORIDA...AS INDIAN RIVER
AND PART OF BREVARD COUNTY WILL EXPERIENCE MAJOR HURRICANE
CONDITIONS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER 100 YEARS.

Listen up...for those of you who have just registered and are aggravated with Phil for posting about football, I want to tell you something.
LI Phil has worked his butt off keeping people updated with maps, links, personal thoughts, etc. He did it with , , , and now Jeanne. He's stayed up countless nights to keep those who are here a majority of the time updated with the latest information he can get.
I live in Central Florida. I am now going through 3 major hurricanes in less than 2 months. I am stressed out, too. But to jump all over Phil because he posted a few things about football is not fair to him. He's more dedicated to this site than anyone I know. For those of us who ARE in the the heart of this storm, a now and then OT post is a welcome diversion.
I would ask any of you that have just begun posting if you would be able to fill Phil's shoes. I think the answer would be NO. He (and others) have taken time to answer your questions, your concerns and have done it with much willingness to help you and others to stay safe. So WHAT if he mentions football? Life DOES go on, people. We all know what we're in store for, we've been talking about it for 4-5 days now, the time is here, what else is there to say? I, for one, am glad to take a break from what will be a hellish night, to post a couple of off-topic posts. We can only say the same thing so many times. You will know shortly what you will get, believe me.
So let's all take a deep breath and slow down. Phil does a fantastic job, and I don't want to lose him because some people don't want to hear about football. Lay off of him, he nailed this storm 3 days ago when people thought that the track was the only one to go by. I think he's done a damn good job for the newbies and maybe you should appreciate what you have in a guy like Phil than complain about him.
And ya know what? If you don't like the off-topic posts..which do not happen frequently when we're going through something like this, you can change the channel and find another place that suits you better.
You might not like this post, but at this point, I don't like the pettiness. You are complaining about him talking about football and then post more posts about him posting about football.
Mike, John, Ed, Storm Coop or anyone else with the power to do so can delete this as an off-topic post, and that's fine. I'm just telling you what I know as a longtime member of this forum that Phil does not deserve to be beat up for a couple of posts about football.

Here's a side by side comparison of vs Jeanne...
Jeanne is stronger for sure, but was a larger storm.

OUCH Colleen.. Guess you are catching up on your posts.. I evacuated from my house on Lake Toho to a hotel on IDRIVE in Orlando. Since I have substantial damage to my house thanks to and , thought it was prudent. Good luck to you tonight in case you lose electric.

Well, you're right -- blew the table layout, but well worth it. Great comparison images! Thanks Mike.

I am right around the corner in Oviedo. The winds have certainly started picking up some here; although, we do have moments of stillness still.
Good luck to everyone tonight & tomorrow!

Couple of things here...
First things first, LI Phil works his arse off to help keep this board up as well as everyone else on here with information and reassuring words to everyone in the path of a hurricane. So "Lighten Up, " and give everyone a bit of slack during this emergency time.
Second, am I the only one on here that's thinking this or does Geraldo look absolutely stupid in front of that chroma key wall?
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....
Folks, it's here.....

You know it's a bad day.....when you wake up and see Jim Cantore and Geraldo Rivera broadcasting from your backyard....literally!

Your observations correlate well with radar. Outer band moving through now. My wife's parents are there at Lutheran Haven - we were there for . What a mess!

I dunno about the rest of you..but Jeanne sures looks to be following the more southern, west tracking path.. AKA solution...if this storm doesn't veer to the northwest soon, its on a direct path for cigar city.

I could not have said that better myself. Phil has done and is doing one heck of a job. The only thing I can add is to just say Thanks to Phil, Mike, you and all of the regulars....Keep up the good work and the OT's are a nice break during the stress of these storms.
Thanks All,
Milton
