The eye is turning south and might move back over the ocean south of Southport

[Freddy Rumsen]

The weather dude said that it doesn't really affect the rain that will expect but it does have an effect on the wind.

Jim Cantore has a baseball helmet on, which is equal parts smart and hilarious.

Fox 46 just said the eye wall has collapsed and the hurricane is already losing it's form

Bad for ratings imo

[Dickie Dunn]

Nice weather at the Frying Pan today.

That flag is holding on for dear life. (warning: loud)

Flag is still going strong

Merica.

Looks like the second set of stripes are separating.

Hmmm...it says "Live Cam Highlights" at the bottom left, but says LIVE on the progress bar and a whole flag is flying? Fake news?

[meow]

It's not live. Their FB page said they lost the live feed

[nocera]

RIP.

[slappybrown]

I don't know, it could still be up nocera. It goes gray while still flying, even if shredded.

I've always liked this chart:



The Cat-4 is purple because it represents the engorged fear boner enjoyed by the media during that time.

Psh... bunch of overblown, media non-sense.

[Troy Loney]

I'm not completely through it yet, but the Daily podcast is running a two part story on Harvey, and the plight of a man that was trying to get help for his wife that was recovering from surgery during the flooding.

My takeaway so far is, if you are being told to evacuate, and you can evacuate, and you don't. That is a selfish act, and should be treated as such. Because there limited rescue workers and if they are being diverted to assist people that stayed home for the **** of it, they aren't able to help people like this guy that wasn't able to evacuate because of the health of his wife.

The people that are rescued for being stupid and staying should be financially responsible for the cost. Some western states hold the rescued person responsible when a wilderness rescue is conducted.

Did we miss the higher winds or is it only just starting

[dodint]

The high winds were fake news, brah.

[meow]

They are still recording gusts over 100 mph. Sustained winds in the high 70s.

[dodint]

Kite flying weather.

[meow]

I did see a dude wind surfing. I'm surprised that he could do that with the size of this balls.

[Freddy Rumsen]

We have sustained winds of about 10 mph here.
