ATL: ANDREA - Post-Tropical

[CrazyC83]

Another thing about the easterly trend - it could keep Andrea over water instead of on land off the east coast...maybe that will let the strength hold or increase?

[MidnightRain]

I'm measuring a forward speed over 26 kts now. At that rate the center will be inland in just over 2 hrs. Strongest winds are in the band of squalls already inland.

There's still a band wrapped around where the center is, you're saying the strongest winds aren't in that?

[AdamFirst]

I wasnt aware that Florida had tornado sirens

They have them here for the nuclear plant in case there's a meltdown

I'm measuring a forward speed over 26 kts now. At that rate the center will be inland in just over 2 hrs. Strongest winds are in the band of squalls already inland.

By the time the recon gets there she is almost going to be making landfall.
I find it odd that they did not do missions of every 6 instead of every 12 hrs.

I talked about this about an hour ago. I don't understand why Recon didn't get out there at least 3 hours earlier. But, Andrea will be making landfall in about 2 hours or so. Recon getting in there around 2 p.m. or so now basically is too late imo.

[CrazyC83]

Recon flew overland over the marshes of eastern NC during Irene, so maybe they will do it again here?

I was driving thru that cell this morning near JD park as sirens were going off...I'll try to post on the S2k FB page video ...though nothing to exciting happened..

NWS Miami has officially confirmed a tornado struck the Acreage this morning.

Also the sirens are being tested as I'm typing this (no storms in the immediate area)...probably not the best day to do it

I wasnt aware that Florida had tornado sirens

Boca doesnt get tornados, only lightning thus no sirens

Just a quick FYI for those wondering - Florida doesn't have tornado sirens, but here in South Florida we have a very thorough lightining detection network and that includes warning sirens at every school field and county park - perhaps that's what was heard this morning...

LOL we had a weak torando a month or so ago. Broke a few windows and tore a roof off a building along Federal Hwy

COC finally looking like is starting to fall apart, is tracking over the cooler shallow waters.

[galaxy401]

Might be losing tropical characteristics. Still will be a big rain threat though.

RECON should not even take off IMO....it will be inland before they get there. 26knts to the ENE is fast..she is exiting quickly now.

[SouthFLTropics]

FYI ALL: The sirens that were heard going off in the Treasure Coast area today were part of the normal quarterly test of the FPL warning system for the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant.

I have to agree that it probably wasn't the best day to do it considering the inclement weather in the area. I'm sure some people were caught off guard, confused, and nervous. I'm willing to bet that 911 got a few calls about it.

Squall just passed Fernandina Beach, very heavy rain inside and a bit of wind, perhaps 15mph. Barometer now falling about .2 inches over the past hour.

NWS just posted a flash flood warning for Clay County around Middleburg.

Here is a laugh, my lawn service guy called and said he did not think he could do the lawn today! No kidding.
