The storm figures to be moving at a rapid rate of speed if it approaches Florida, so there will be a greater difference than usual between the northern (weaker) and southern (stronger) side. Still way too early to tell who will be close to the center on either side, though.

I posted this question at the end of the last thread: does the surge stay with the storm or does it extend out like ripples from a rock dropped into a pond?
Maybe I'm confusing surge with waves, but I'd like more information on whether a Cat 4/5 heading into lower southwest Florida would cause the water to rise even on the "good" side of the cane before the storm makes landfall.
I'm in Punta Gorda at 9 feet above sea level. I know pushed the water into Mississippi. But was the water only on the east side of the eye?
Thanks, Typhoon, for your information in the other thread. I have the surge figures for Punta Gorda, but I want to know where & when the water pushes ashore.

Ok guys,I am going nuts here.What impact to you feel will happen to my area?Storm surge should be a none factor,given it is coming from the west.I will still be deciding soon if I should leave.I would like to hear everyones input.

Eddie,
It's Way too early to get an idea what will do.
You do have the right idea about being on the North side. I saw a post earlier that reflected the possibility of 's wind speeds increasing After Landfall.
I'm not a MET. The only explanation that I could come up with would be 's winds and the cold fronts winds interacting with each other.
That information was from a post and I haven't been able to find data to go with that "spin" theory.
I'm starting to see some convection moving onto the Hills west of San Antonio, Tx. This may be the precursor of the trough that is supposed to be headed your way.

Hello.. I just wanted to get some of your thoughts on being on the north side of this storm at the time of landfall..
Is there still a strong anticipation that the shear will be strong enough that areas north of the eye should not be affected that bad? Will this recent intensification alter that theory at all?
Thx... Eddie - Ft. Myers, FL
Eddie, I've got bad news for you, my brother - you are squarly in the highest likelyhood of getting a direct hit. Four day errors are measured in the hundreds of miles so you need to get ready for a direct hit.
The good news is that I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance, and more importantly, yes the shear is forcast to weaken the storm later in the forcast period; however if weakens 20% and it peaks at 170MPH (which is very possible with a still deeping 901mb cane) then we are down to 130mph.
Get ready now.

okay, i knew the damned thing was intensifying, but that 901mb is mind-blowing. very very tiny radius of maximum winds... i'm guessing that s will help spread the areal coverage of hurricane winds out. in the meantime we've got a bizarre structure, with a super-hurricane nested inside what is essentially a big tropical storm. gotta wonder what the winds will be like when they catch up to the pressure fall... with that tight of an inner core.
i don't expect this odd structure will last for long... it will broaden out and ease up to the realm of reality one way or another.
like the says, though.. forecast down the road remains unchanged. gotta go check the 00Z models finally.. and finish this stupid paper.

69mb drop in 7.5hrs!!!! (adv times...think that comes out to 8 hrs)
per warren madden on
said he's never seen or been in a hurricane with an eye of 4nm wide... in the atlantic basin!!!

I believe it is the output of the last couple of runs that has been increasing the winds (or at least the 950mb winds) immediately after landfall. There would be no good reason for this to occur... this is mainly just some imperfect modeling. Some regeneration could occur after it re-emerges over the Atlantic, obviously.

Holy CRUD!!! Just got home from work a little early (sick child at home) and my mouth nearly fell open. This is absolutely unbelievable. Just looked in from work about 12:30EDT and things were still at a high 2 borderline Cat 3. I am starting to get a little nervous here....
I live in East Orange County....what can we possibly expect even if it hits further south?? Especially at this pace....this is nuts!

Wait until you see the readings on 42056 tomorrow. I can't recall exactly but I think one of the two was knocked out by Emily.
And also trying to remember...which was the hurricane with the discussion comment about intensifying at a rate bordering on insane? Was that Emily?
Seems like each time that occured, the next hurricane raised the bar.

This is unreal; the hurricane force winds only extend out 15 miles. That works out to be 5 MPH faster for every mile you get closer, thats 1MPH faster every 1000 feet!

I think I saw this posted earlier. But I'll respost the comment.
I was just browsing the satellite pages. I am amazed, to say the least at the amount of very high clouds on the satellite pics.
The Weather Channel-(reds) don't do it justice.
Try this link...I'll see if I can find some more.

Let me ask the question............If you were in Fort Lauderdale,would you leave,and when?
I hate to edit your post...But Leave? Yes, as soon as I could. Stay safe, there isn't a need to rush right now. Just Do It~danielw

...additionally, i'm thinking the intensity curve has some momentum and won't hault on a dime in this case... particularly because the SST's in the area area or so warm and the u/a mechanics are looking if anything, better this evening.... but, at 2am...it's too late for me to formulate a cogent hypothesis about anything...ugh...

well the plane is still up and flying..... but i bet they took a beating on that first pass....
like thudebrd said..... i bet they didn't expect that kind of drop.... and i would bet someone from or HRD has made a phone call to get a research plane up and reay to go at first chance..... i know there is one going in later today.... but i bet some of those research HRD guys are crapping in there pants right noe....wanting to get some research data from this historical event......one plane is good... but more would be better...
