I see the rooster clouds already coming in... kinda breezy here on the Duval-St.John's county line.

Breezy, but that's about all Jacksonville should get. The angle and size of the storm fortuitously make us about as likely to get tropical storm force conditions as Ireland. We're not even expected to get an inch of rain.

Huh you’re exactly where I used to live. What’re you doing there?

Got a job working at a bank for a large Indian IT consulting firm. The work load is generally fine and the pay is modest but reasonable. I came for the job stability and have received nothing but praise for the last 6 months.


but Holy sh**t! Look at the pressure and winds now!

I don't think it's going to be too bad in Athens.

Pressure down to 919 mb--the only two hurricanes that have come ashore lower than this were in 1935 and Camille in 1969.

Deepest hurricane in 50 years to make landfall in mainland US then?

[Grassroots]

It is being predicted to be a Cat. 5 at landfall by about half of sources, brace yourselves.

Looks that way. And the plane measured an estimate of 917mb so even as it comes in it's continuing to intensify.

It's something like 2mph below that, but it wouldn't surprise me at all when the post-season report comes out if it's officially upped to a 5.

Winds at landfall are 155. Just two shy of Category 5.

It will probably be upgraded to a Cat 5 posthumously.

Definitely has a sub920 pressure.

I don't think it's going to be too bad in Athens.

Athens and the greater Metro Atlanta area are definitely going to be seeing significant impacts from this storm beginning overnight and continuing until Thursday afternoon.  NWS has a 40-60% of tropical storm force winds in Athens on Thursday.

[DINGO Joe]

Well, it really did bomb out.  Centeral American gyre storms are supposed to be able to do that.  Glad it didn't come to New Orleans.  Hard enough to get out of the city when you see it coming 4 or 5 days ahead, but a late bloomer like this, no chance.

[Dereich]

Even with the minimal weather we're getting here, my office and the Duval County Courthouse are closing down early. If we're getting out, Atlanta and Athens are surely going to be closed tomorrow.

It was definitely a dub step storm. It had a wicked sick drop!

Oh deer,
This looks bad.

Riddle me this how can Trump find a way to take this issue and look like douche? Well hold a political rally in Pennsylvania right in the middle of the storm

If we're going to talk Politics, at least talk Rick Scott, Bill Nelson, Andrew Gillium and Ron Desantis, as their races are most affected the Hurricane.
