They are awarded to those folks you describe. I qualify for ever doubting you J-man. (lol) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undertakerson2.0 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 (edited) The eye has closed again, ERC evident, dry air starts to entrain. All good news Fwd speed increased, window is closing, thermal differences remain, Div/Conv still strong, wind fields expanding. All bad news Edited October 9 by Undertakerson2.0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually sent a group text out to the ones that stayed to be locked onto the radar. Seeing lots of mesos on the radar.

Undertakerson2.0 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 (edited) Kinda looks like a ragged eye re-emerging? Suggest ERC is near complete or is complete. Bad news - gives it a chance to retain its Moxie. Future radar suggests the eye will be huge and intact as it comes ashore.

I think the erc needed to continue as close as possible to landfall to be a help. If it's done already it's no bueno. Milton is the opposite of helene. I've never seen a storm form and maintain such a perfect eye so effortlessly. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undertakerson2.0 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Renken sent me a post on X from WxMatrix (Jesse) - I don't do X but if you do it's worth looking into. It's titled, Don't Look Down - and it's a mindblowing look into the throat of Milton from last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeysed Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Not good. A very old couple will not leave their home near St Armands Circle in SRQ. House was built in 1954. I don't think they will survive let alone the house. Its never had hurricane issues and they don't believe the storm will literally change downtown Sarasota into a warzone. They are friends with my Aunt Fran. I am going to try and speak to them shortly - at this point they should just go west into whatever hotel is open. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily much of that area between Miami and Naples is nature habitat. Driven on 75 there before at night and lots of eyes staring back at you from the waterways 😬 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
