“ I am 90% sure Ian was rated a good +30 MPH above what was really going on, I look forward to the offseason reports because those contain verified ground data.â€
You are correct again. But, why was Andrew upgraded from a Cat 4 to a Cat 5. IMO, it didn’t make much difference in the destruction.
Our local news is showing in Wilbur-By-The-Sea homes and large condos collapsing into the sea. The water is washing out the foundations, some including swimming pools. It’s almost surreal seeing the homes with plywood on the windows for protection against the storm’s winds…just to watch them disappear due to water. Why do they permit structures to be built so close to water? These include tall condos. Law enforcement is going from door to door telling people to evacuate. As usual some are staying. Look for them to wave goodbye as their homes collapse into the sea taking them with their homes!
We in Osceola County are currently under a tropical storm warming. Oh, well…
Local news continues to refer to the storm as Hurricane Nicole.
