Eye is rapidly warming and clearing.

[Hurrilurker]

On satellite, looks like it just took a big jog to the right (east).

The craziest thing looking at the updated forecast map is seeing this as still a 105 mph hurricane at 11:00 PM and the position is well north of Tallahassee. Can't remember the last time I've seen a hurricane fairly strong that far inland. Wind damage of this thing will be absolutely insane.

very slight. Big isn't the world i would use. Maybe 2 miles east

TS conditions here. Extra spicy. Power flashes....we're going dark soon

My son, who's off 19/Tampa Rd and lost power for almost a day during Debby, is currently part of a 3K customer power outage. My neighborhood has underground lines and stayed up all through Debby and is still up, but something can always happen downstream.

70 mph wind gusts now in downtown St Pete.

Sep 26, 4:24 pm 85 78 80 97 SSE 44G70

Power outage count just jumped to 38,000 with the last squall through St Pete.
May be worse than Idalia for Tampa bay?

[Sanibel]

Contracting eye (Intensifying)...

[Teban54]

You know a storm is bombing out when significant improvements are obvious on 1-min floaters.

Using the novel and scientifically accurate BFMB model (branches fallen in my backyard) this is shaping up worse than Idalia in Pinellas county.

It’s been hours of wrapping convective bursts, and the eye has still not cleared. I’m doubtful it will; several hurricane model runs predicted this.

lol and the eye is clearing out as we speak

Welp, does anyone have some spare crow?

Yeah can I get crow with a side of hot towers? Hold the dry air slots

I know its a figure of speech and you joke but crow is eaten round them parts' of Florida bout to get hit. Still something you see in the rural areas, not unheard of. Squirrels too.

I can't finish mine, too much to eat, do you want some?

I read this right as I’m listening to the birds outside throw an absolute fit at the wind gusts we have coming in.

Nah, crows have been sold out to all the people who said yesterday and this morning that Helene won't even become a major.

I dunno looks like a sudden lurch of 1/4 to 1/3 a line of longitude to me, which would be ~15-20 miles. Thing is, it might have bounced west-ish before that, making it look like it's diverting more from the track it was on.

You were close with 950 mb but not quite as close as me with 951 mb on the dot! Tell ya what, I'll split my winnings

Levi's on the ball tonight.

50 knot winds at buoy 42036 off Tampa shifted to E at 80 degrees.
Eye may pass inside of -84.5W at that location which is closer than Idalia.
