Re: ATL: HELENE - Hurricane - Discussion
946.6 extrap so far. My prediction range was pretty good.
Excellent improvement on the west side.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

does anyone know of a site where you can get a map like you show that shows updated power outages across the affected states?

Hurrilurker wrote:I guess the "good" news is the coastal areas near where the center is projected to make landfall appear to mostly be a giant network of nature reserves and state parks with very few human occupants. Although that probably also means it will be more difficult to get help into those areas.
but the bad news is that very high winds will move inland and projected to go through several towns well past Tallahassee. This damage will be enhanced if Helene does indeed strengthen up until landfall.

No bueno.
I hope that doesn't swing around before landfall.

Probably but it's looked like Perry from the beginning.
I'm thinking between Perry and Steinhatchee. Definitely Taylor County. Euro, GFS, UK, ICON all zeroed in on a 20 mile strip of coast.

Thanks, although I wish there was a map that would actually show the power outages since it would be easier to read. I'll keep googling it and see what I can find.

I am NOT a professional meteorologist, so take all of my posts with a grain of salt. My opinions are mine and mine alone.

100% you, I and NDG were on it and maybe a few others. I've lived here since 1976. You kinda learn how these things behave minus the meteorology degree. Credit to Bay News 9 and Spectrum News they've been all over Perry area or Taylor county. Klystron is the real deal!

Re: ATL: HELENE - Hurricane - Discussion
Taylor county has asked that anyone who stays in an evacuation zone to write their name, birthday and important identifying information on their arm in permanent marker.
No matter how many times I’ve seen counties request this, it’s always a sick gut feeling to read.

Uh, did NHC just lower the intensity of a rapidly intensifying major hurricane mere hours from landfall?
