ATL: LAURA - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[sbcc]

Jeff just stated he's done trying to keep Periscope going, watch him here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RPkb5uLbpU

Jeff is having a high energy livestream, with great narration. Reed just sounds disinterested, like it's a chore.

Him and the NatGeo guy just got into it because the NatGeo guy wants shots for the show they are shooting and Reed is just having fun.

Lake Charles just lost power as they cut to Cantore on TWC

[Hurrilurker]

Brad Arnold's feed in Lake Charles, just lost power, all lights are out except emergency on the beach.

Landfalling at Cameron right now. Holly Beach at west end of eye. Creole at the east end. Abrams and Cantore are blowing around in 90-100 mph gusts in Lake Charles.

[Sanibel]

105mph in Lake Charles now...

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I choose to think of it as "Jeff is overplaying it for dramatic effect" and "Reed is letting the footage speak for itself".

Jeff consistently has some of the best footage, but I think he talks way too much. It distracts from the spectacle.

[Texas Snowman]

Still looks like there's some power in downtown Lake Charles (from Jeff's YouTube feed, at least). That's amazing...

Eye diameter from radar looks to be circular and 25 miles.

Whoa HUGE lightning burst in the E eyewall just now

I tire of seeing his ipad though.

[Blinhart]

Jeff’s livestream went down.

Reed Timmer FB is still up

Yeah I hope he gets to a parking garage before the storm surge comes in, there will probably not be much warning before it starts pouring in.

Recon just went in center for the last time. FL, SDMR, and MSLP have all held about the same.

[Texas Snowman]

Extreme wind warning now in Lake Charles...

OK, but right now Reed's footage seems to consist of watching the traffic lights change. I suppose that's a form of spectacle. Meanwhile, Jeff is reporting the NWS saying 130+ winds about to arrive. I do have Reed muted, though.

I say that about Reed, and he decides to move. Haha.

Laura's probably conserving a lot of her energy over the low altitude and storm surge

[wx98]

NHC waiting on recon to call landfall. It is clearly halfway across.

[Hypercane_Kyle]

Landfall official.

Strongest hurricane to make landfall in LA since Camille.
