Dry air entering the eyewall. Doubt that sustained winds over 100mph effect the mainland.

Re: First there was Harvey...
Sometimes I think TV stations have someone off camera throwing a traffic sign past a reporter for effect. It goes viral and suddenly the millions of weather watchers switch over to see that brave and "lucky" reporter instead of whatever other network they were watching. Because, you know, if a blowing traffic sign almost slices a reporter in half, clearly that station is more invested in their coverage than the others, right?FW wrote:OGSB wrote:As for Irma, a street sign almost took out a CNN reporter in Miami

From some news report I just read:
Yup, there are stupid people everywhere.But some locals refused to budge.
“It’s going to be a fun ride,” said Jason Wasser, who had a few drinks at Don’s Place. “All of our friends are here, our family, why bother leaving? We’re all going to die eventually, so why not have a good time with it?”

I liked the one that suggested all residents of Florida aim their fans to the east and blow Irma away.

The danger in that approach is that it could accelerate the rotation of the earth and possibly sling Guam into outer space.PeteRasche wrote:I liked the one that suggested all residents of Florida aim their fans to the east and blow Irma away.
