Re: ATL: MATTHEW - Hurricane - Discussion
SW outer eyewall is just about hurricane force now.. NE outer eyewall likely much higher.

OK, can we all just let this go? We have recon going in, are in the middle of an ERC and it's getting tiresome weeding through crap bickering posts. And now you've made me add one.

Remember, Hurricane Charley made a hard right turn just hours before landfall when it was expected to go further up the coast. It also intensified from a category 2 to a category 4 in a single advisory. How many people were calling an all clear for Port Charlotte at the time?
How quickly people forget this lesson from mother nature.
If you are under a hurricane warning, you need to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Don't assume "it should go North of me", one wobble left and your world could dramatically change.
And that is why we have our shutters up as does pretty much my entire neighborhood.
When the NHC puts up a Hurricane Warning there is a lot of responsibility there and the ramifications are huge.
So they don't do this lightly.
I felt the whole time "gut feeling" that Matthew would be east of us far enough to not be in the eyewall.
I didn't make a pronouncement about it because I was "Guessing". Don't take that to the bank.
So, we are prepared and if we get away with minimal effects below Hurricane strength then I will be thrilled.
I won't be mad that the NHC put up a Hurricane Warning.
They saw the strong chance of my area being "hit" and I trust them.
Finally, enough with the "I said it would do this or that".
If someone predicted correctly, congratulations, you got lucky.
You have ZERO control over what will happen.
You are NOT a GENIUS.
You got lucky.
Just like I hope we get lucky with Matthew, but we are ready if we don't.

Re: ATL: MATTHEW - Hurricane - Discussion
Just an FYI to the people saying this is going to the east, it may very well, however, models, such as the HRRR are forecasting this north job as well, before a more NW jog again.

Last post from this moderator on this topic. We are doing our best to focus this discussion on facts and scientific observations. We also cracked down earlier this week on people hyping Matthew into a apocalyptic disaster. Opinions are welcomed but keep in mind, as I have already written, that thousands of people are reading your opinions. And, whether we all like it or not, they are forming opinions which may or may not impact their life or the lives of friends or family members. It's all well and good for people to write "well, that's their problem." It may be ... but it won't be OUR problem on this forum as we are enforcing such things. We want everyone in harm's way to listen to authorities, local NWS, and the National Hurricane Center. Anything beyond that should be read, considered, and taken for what it's worth -- an amateur opinion. No offense to anyone here but posts like these and times like these, I feel, require an explanation since some of you are criticizing us for being heavyhanded.
Now let's get back to Matthew. Please. Otherwise I will start liberally using the delete function.

Why should we let FACTS from recon get in the way of hypothetical debates?

Hammy is correct that the overall movement of the inner eyewall last few hours has been moving east of the forecast points. However, looking at the new, developing outer eyewall it appears the motion is on track. It's not unusual for the inner eye to be jerked around by the outer during an EWRC.
No doubt. And you can see the general satellite motion and radar presentation. If it only gets 80 miles from the coast, I'll send a $25.00 donation in on Monday. If not, it's after payday.

Re: ATL: MATTHEW - Hurricane - Discussion
The outer eyewall is clear as day from recon. Spikes in flight level winds, SFMR values, rain rates, and a slight inflection in surface pressure estimates can all be seen on the trace.

Pretty impressive to hold steady with this large eyewall replacement.

Re: ATL: MATTHEW - Hurricane - Discussion
Is the UKMET the same as the GFS?
I don't see UKMET on the tropicaltidbits site, which I believe many of the posters here are referring to.
By the way, it is fascinating to watch the apparent eye wall replacement cycle on the Miami radar.

I think it is irresponsible when folks come on here and trumpet the all clear signal when there are still warnings posted in the affected area.
Agreed. We have lots of folks who either contribute, lurk or both. They do take almost every post to heart and have based their decisions on such. Hence, the disclaimer.

No. Read the board. The disclaimer is useless, legally and otherwise. People just need to use common sense and specify things in a manner that is respectful instead of authoritarian. She may be right, she may not be. Just don't be cocky about it and things will be fine. This is nothing but a tool and the place we all hang for storms. That's all it should be. Get your info from the NOAA/NWS. Everyone over the age of 10 ought to know this by now. I'm done arguing the points. Let's do the storm. And if someone puts reasoning behind what they thing rather than just saying it (e.g., I think it's going to miss point x because of y as opposed to hey woo, all clear here!), things would be better. No one on here is a dummy, though some have hard heads.

Sorry Hammy, your statement is not horrible but it's a good example of something that needlessly riles up folks looking for information.
Everyone
THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR AMATEUR PROCLAMATIONS.
We are in storm mode and those kinds of statements just fill the thread with questions or arguments and don't add any value. Everyone worries that someone reading something like this may make a bad decision based on an amateur analysis. Please just avoid making these kinds of statements.
Isn't this the reason for the disclaimer? Not to mention, Hammy mentioned that anyone within its predicted path should operate the same way as if it were to landfall.
They took the disclaimer requirement away this year. Frankly, when I saw they did that, I saw the increase of the "I thinks" happening. Before, we felt we needed a little back up to what we were posting, now we can just post our "gut feelings" without having to worry if our gut is backed up with factual information. I suggest a return to the disclaimers next year.
