Burr Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 The eastward swing has started, so it will go head-on into Port Charlotte area rather than continue to swipe the coast up towards Venice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got another one to add to the collection. Only in Florida that you can catch the waves during a powerful storm, even a crazy Oklahoman like me would have NOPED OUT!

That's what would terrify me about flying in a hurricane, especially near the eyewall. We've seen the smaller vortices that sometimes extend into the eye. If you are flying along in a crosswind or headwind and suddenly the wind direction changes to a stiff tailwind, your airspeed can drop below your stall speed. The only solution is to add full power and ride it out, hoping that you don't get into an irrecoverable spin or run out of altitude before your airspeed recovers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow____ Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Looks like this storm is constricting and getting that tighter look about it. Land May be the best thing for this storm becuase it had a few more hours on open water…… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
