In retrospect, the hurricane models have handled this super well.
When RI hits, it hits hard.

She's frighteningly beautiful.
So with this unexpected intense strengthening does this also make storm surge higher in the big bend than forecasted? It was already like 20 feet
Pressure drops will likely exacerbate surge, yeah.

Gonna be close to a Cat 5. Truly impressed and super bummed for what's ahead for people on the coast and upstream/inland. Her name will get retired....

ULL now on the move. Further west it goes, the greater the westward pull on Helene. Amazing to watch the moisture being vented like that vertically across the US from south to north.

This storm looks really scary. My brother-in-law is in Tallahassee. He lives about 15 minutes south of town toward Crawfordville. I wish he had left, but he did not he sitting with neighbors.
