We faired well overnight from the tropical storm. Friends in Florida felt a hurricane, they’ll need America’s help, just like Maui and others who feel the wrath of Mother Nature.

The worst part of hurricanes are those scary wind sounds. You never know if a tornado is nearby or not. Wicked feeling!

Hugo but my grandparents swore Hazel was much worse.

My parents had a place at the beach and literally had almost no damage.  Near their place there was a house that was blown completely over the inlet and sitting near their place.  Wild

Somehow most news stations fail to mention anything but the 5 day forcast which shows it headed right at the US.  Shocking that they might put the worst face on something just to sell some viewers huh?

 

But in Ventusky I trust.  I think you sent me a link to it last year LD.

The GFS has it shooting the gap between Bermuda and the mainland US, which is the best scenario imo.  A couple of the models have it getting scarily close to the east coast before it whips out to sea.  I hope it doesn't threaten land until sufficiently weak, because that storm could be a real monster.  A landfalling category 4 in the Carolinas would be catastrophic.

Won't know anything for a while now.  Don't let it get ya too upset.

Lee also became one of the fastest-intensifying Atlantic hurricanes on record, its peak winds increasing from 80 to 165 mph in a day. This rate of strengthening was the most extreme on record for any Atlantic storm east of the Caribbean, according to Kieran Bhatia, a meteorologist for the reinsurance brokerage Guy Carpenter. Only a few storms in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico have intensified more quickly.
