A customer took us out to eat lunch today, and the restaurant had TWC on. The customer owns a beach property somewhere around Port Charlotte, and he thought tornadoes were quite common during hurricanes, even large wedge-shaped ones like was posted a few pages back. He didn't seem at all surprised.

I don't think folks should be shocked about a tornado outbreak from a major hurricane.

I have a company iPad but I try not to mess around too much at work with it. Not sure what they actually track on them.

PC master race, no shame.

“Low probability” and “A couple” from SPC in their day 2 and day 1 tornado outlook write ups and their daily updated tornado outlook write ups doesn’t do justice to the outbreak we are seeing across Florida at all.

sure some tornados are common with landfalling hurricanes…

But Not to this scale including multiple PDS issued.  If there was another hurricane that had this kind of tornado outbreak with it several hours before landfall I’d be curious to review it too

Irma was much lower. 5 confirmed. Granted it landed much further south and didn’t expose most of Florida to favorable conditions.

I can check the spc archives for Irma but not sure I’ll be able to pull up Ivan’s

Ian had 70 warnings, but few of those actually resulted in tornadoes. In addition to Ivan, Frances also had quite a few tornadoes.

Still heading a touch north of northeast, if I read where they’re going to pin that last pass correctly

It's wild watching the pulsing circulation of the cloud tops riding the hurricanes eye. Really explodes in the last few frames.

Is it me or does it appear like landfall will be in Tampa or just North? Earlier people were saying south, but it seems to be going more north to me.

It’s supposed to curve more eastward as it approaches the coast.

 So neither nothing like this.  Also you don’t seem to grasp that no one is arguing that hurricanes come with tornados.  The severity of this outbreak and  Spc not having more than a 5% probability for “a couple” is what makes this interesting  
 

did Ian, Ivan, Frances or Irma have PDS’s?

Neither of those dates were in the spc archives, no biggie

Wow… it’s transitioning to extratropical and still completing an ERC.  Satellite looks like a mess

Ummm it's still a completely warm core system.  Extratropical does not happen until the core turns cold.   Just saying.....

Yes, it hasn’t transitioned to extratropical at its core, but it is beginning to take on some characteristics more associated with an extra-tropical system.  It will remain a warm-core system for a while yet.

As UTS pointed out a while ago, the stronger the system, the further south the track. Since we've lost a bunch of steam, might it lead the storm a bit further north? TBD. People on the northern side of this storm are going to take the worst of it outside of storm surge. The I-4 corridor is getting a deluge.

Northern eyewall lightning strikes doesn’t bode well …
