Descending/drying air will bring down some of stronger winds aloft to the surface (and enhance them a bit due to the gravitational acceleration as it descends).

This is literally power companies reporting their outages.

Does this board still love him or have they recognized him as a dangerous attention-hog?


I love Josh and all those guys. If you don’t want to give him any attention probably don’t watch or post about him? I haven’t seen him at all today more on accident though. I only listened to 5 seconds of that so maybe I missed something. I’ve been more tuned in to intense feeds


What makes him dangerous??

Tampa is in a Flash Flood Emergency…

These weakening storms really just don’t pack much punch in the wind department, do they? Cat 1 Beryl had more impressive winds over land from the videos I’ve seen.

Is this related to the dry conveyor belt in extratropical cyclones?

Cell service is spotty in a lot of places. Tornados took down some towers.

Oh dear, I hope not!


Yes I can confirm his home did in fact take a hit. He lost all trees in the yard, his fence impaled the neighbors truck, the neighbors roof is gone but his is intact.

People up there didn’t drown in the surge. It came in south. Who knows what the TB rainfall total will be but I’d guess 8+”.

For what it's worth, the National Hurricane Center cites this source in many of their TCRs.

Impressive... the winds went dead calm at Sarasota during eye passage (after gusting 93 previously)... now gusting 91 again on the back side.

TS force winds will do that for sure! Most people don’t realize just how crazy 60 mph winds are in person.

That’s pretty cool and then from 0 to 43 gust in no time.

Yeah, I'm getting solid 85+mph gusts per the local mets on TV. Little higher than 60mph TS force.
