As Dole calls it, showering together afterwards.

I was honestly waiting for you to say that you have your own manatees

Used to.

But accidentally killed it with my boat.

Near Cedar Keys.

At the 11 pm advisory still not at hurricane strength but pressure is down to 983 mb. Was 987 earlier. I bet by 2 am it will be a cat 1

Swim with manatees?

Yes.. you can swim with them.. it's pretty cool... they are so mellow

My spidey sense is saying not as far north as it is being forecasted... it's already wobbled farther east than expected.. this puts it closer to me.

They’re saying it’s going to crawl north at about 8 mph and then speed up when it turns NNE. That is what will allow it to strengthen.

If it's vertically stacked at 6am it's gonna form an eyewall. At that point it's gonna be a major cane. High Cat 3, maybe low Cat 4. Slow mover so there's lots of time. That trough will pick it up and speed it up. Landfall should be pretty quick which will limit storm surge and damage, but still a hard hit for an area that doesn't see many.

The sooner it gets an eye wall the further east it'll go.

Wind shear off of Yukatan was keeping it from getting vertical earlier. That'll subside as it moves north. Then it's game on in the bathtub.

She's blowin' up in 3 hours!!

 

[Red_Alert]

9pm CT NOAA P3 recon data.

It's looking east of the forecast track. Still in the cone tho.

 

[Red_Alert]

She's blowin' up once past that Yukatan windshear.

 

[Red_Alert]

The next scheduled recon flight is at 4:30am (CT).

I'm guessing there will be a partial eyewall "F" then.

Looks like it stated it's intensification.. if the wind shear in the gulf stays a little longer than expected the track shifts a little further east.. this will be fun. I'll upload video as it's coming through if I can

Uh, no.

Manatees swim in the springs where the water is a constant 72°.. no Gators , because it's too cold for them
.and the water is crystal clear..

My poor precious scallop fields!!!

Hasn't been very good the last couple of years.. maybe this will stir things up and get it back to a good scallop season next year

They must work from home
