ATL: IDA - Remnants - Discussion

[tolakram]

Yeah as already mentioned I don't believe in those news report from random chat members. Wait until we get actual officials or some first-hand evidence.

What is the board standard? Should we refrain from posting Unconfirmed reports of things? Because this is going to be a long day for me. With me following so many from this area Ive got info flying from left and right. What should I share And what shouldnt I share?

Sincere question

Use your own judgement, and be honest if unconfirmed (which you did). If it's a message in chat or from a random facebook group my assumption is that it's usually false, but you can always try and verify it. The more dramatic the news the higher the odds it's fake.

We will all remember the great major hurricane drought of 2006-2016 (or not)

Too far west.

For some reason he always positions himself in the left front quadrant or weaker side of the eye path. Not sure what is objective is if it’s to document the most ferocious conditions. Always taking cat 1 conditions and saying he intercepted a cat 4.

Lost power here in Hancock County about an hour ago, and a tornado warning alert just arrived. Yay.

SFMR is basically useless over the marsh. Those readings go straight to trash

I disagree. He's said before that chasing hurricanes in a swamp is a fools errand, I don't think this particular position is anything more than the safest place of all the unsafe places.

Things are picking up quickly here in Mandeville. Not seeing anything over 20mph yet, but there’s reports of 60 on ambient weather stations on the south shore. Those winds should be here soon.

The eye still looks amazing on IR.

[PavelGaborik]

Jokko is in a really open spot. You don't the wind to flip you vehicle.

Does anyone have a link to the chaser who's there?

[LARanger]

Ida sucks, apparently . . . I'm north of her yet the wind isn't from the east but from the north, and has been for me the whole time.

It seems he stresses safety over recording the most extreme conditions among peers, with some notable exceptions (Dorian).

Case in point, you have a bevy of chasers right now along Highway 1 (Raceland to Lockport) who will catch the RFQ while he’s “safely” in Houma.

Looks like the surge has been blown(?) off Grand Isle. Winds are still ripping!

Am I remembering right when I say he rode out Dorian at Abacoa Inn / Hope Town? If so, that makes up for every left quadrant in history. I have friends that had to relocate from their concrete structure while in the eye. And they relocated to Abacoa Inn.

It's unbelievable how good Ida still looks. If you removed land outlines from the sat/IR image you could've probably convinced me that it hasn't even made landfall yet.
