I'm not having fun watching her explode.

Just referring to the convective activity in the satellite loop.

I think you'll want lightning flashes enabled on your preferred satellite product for the full effect of intensification ongoing right now: https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=m ... =undefined

Still going through bursting phase with convection, leading to higher clouds obscuring the eye. It was more visible earlier before the current rate of convection began.

Those most recent towers sure are cranking. And the rate they're racing around the center has increased too. Certainly not a good look with more than 24 hours over the warm Gulf to go before landfall.

Not a meteorologist, in fact more of an idiot than anything. You should probably check with the NHC or a local NWS office for official information.

I honestly forgot I had this subscription so I am not sure if this will be the last view I get tonight. Looks amazing even if it is headed near me.

Tomorrow morning after waking up and seeing what is going on, will decided if I need to sand bag the 2 front doors, got a old shower door to dam up my back french doors. Hopefully I won't have to do those things and this thing will be going closer to Houston than closer to me.



I'm sure you already know to do this but please make sure to take photos all around the exterior and interior of your house for Insurance purposes.



This is interesting. I do flood adjusting so I am thinking I will get sent out. Taking pics during the flood helps the most. (Of course if you are in evacuation zone, dont stay)



We did this before Michael and fortunately my house was not damaged. I lost about every oak tree but my house was in tact. We stayed with my wife's elderly parents during the storm and I took my iPad and walked the perimeter of the house before the storm and the interior as well. We ended up in the extreme NW eyewall and there was a 5-10 lull as the eye passed by (we thought the storm was over) and I walked around the perimeter of the house again and took pics and they were missing about half the shingles and most window was broke. Anyway, this was very useful after the storm during the claims process.

I'm going to be in the NE quadrant, and the storm surge map puts the potential surge just a couple miles from me, so yeah not fun.

Well our roof is only 8 years old, and the warranty is for up to 110 mph, so hopefully we don't get anything worse than that.

Up to 75kt/983mb at latest intermediate advisory. Looks reasonable to me.
