I have found it interesting that this area has lower wind design standards than the rest of the Gulf Coast. 

Occupational hazard that you know such things? LOL

That, to me, is quite odd given how often the Big Bend gets at least a glancing blow and many times are in the path of after landfall.

I suppose we need a dedicated post for this - to become Helene

Nam is right there too.

Still a bit off in the future.

98L looks pretty good for a depression or storm. Hard to find good wind data though.

Oh boy, a double whammy a week later for the big bend area of FL

I wanna take all the whiners who've been ridiculing NOAA's Tropical Forecast, drag them to a computer screen and let them watch the activity NOW and what is being modeled to happen over the next 10 days.

And shove their faces into the images as if they were bad puppies who pooped on the LR carpet.

Lots of energy for sure, but doesn't the GFS have a reputation for depicting end-of-the-world storms that never manifest? I will be sad if a massive hurricane slams the eastern seaboard next month, just in time for my birthday with a newborn at home. Hopefully these are just model fever dreams.

True, though if I were in that area I wouldn't let my guard down after Helene goes away.

Isaac and Joyce are opened. Getting busy.  John in the EPAC is still alive.
