Hi everybody! So, I know nothing about hurricanes, except the categories, but I'd like to know if we will be feeling very strong winds in the Miami-Homestead area? Will it affect us very bad? I am very nervous about this storm. Thanks.
There's one thing everyone needs to know about Hurricanes. Worry about water not wind. That's what causes 90% of the damage and casualties.
If I was in Miami, I would still be worried. There are still a significant number of models that show a more southerly track and those are also the models showing the highest intensity. The much more likely scenario is a track well North of you where winds shouldn't be a big issue. But, when you build a city on a porous piece of limestone, it doesn't take a direct hit for water to become a big issue.
Nice break down of what the Euro ensemble (The 51 models that make up the Euro) are telling us:
Awesome annotations! Maroon text very important. Tomorrow we will know. If it makes the turn west sooner than expected and is a sharp turn then obviously southern Florida needs to be on alert. The longer or less sharp it takes to make that turn the safer southern Florida is
It's emotionally exhausting. Whenever a hurricane is expected to make landfall, everything suddenly turns into chaos. An aura of anxiety prevails, there's this guessing games about where the storm will go or if it will even go where it's predicted, which in many cases, they don't. Often you don't know what happens until the day before and by then it's too late. No body knows what will happen and when.
In the olden days, before radars, people read barometers to keep track if a storm was coming. If the barometer suddenly started dropping, that usually meant a hurricane was on the way. Of course FL had far fewer people then.
Don't forget Home Depot and the news chans working together to make peeps buy stuff they never use.
