Hurricane Hurricane Milton

[GeneralChow]

I pray for Florida having to go through another Major not even 2 weeks after Helene.

I'm sure you meant to say that you pray that Florida doesn't not see another major 2 weeks after Helene.

 

[TornadoFan]

And I thought Beryl was a beast.

 

[JPWX]

Is there another plane headed in or in it currently still?

That's what I meant, sorry.

 

[Clancy]

Milton still looking to strengthen. Really wouldn't surprise me to see him push for the upper bounds of intensity in his given environment.

AF309 appears to be going in for another pass. The next plane is expected to depart in a little over an hour.

 

[Atlantic]

925mb is stronger than Beryl in pressure! I won't be surprised (still will be at the same time) if Milton breaks 175.

 

[Blountwolf]

What's the lowest pressure and highest winds ever recorded in the Gulf? Rita (2005) at 895mb and 180mph? Allen in 1980 hit 190mph, but that was in the Caribbean, before it got in the Gulf.

 

[Atlantic]

It is also

the lowest pressure in the Atlantic since Sam too.

I believe Rita was the strongest Gulf hurricane, but Gilbert in '88 may have been one?

Gilbert hit 888, but not while in the Gulf, IIRC.

Gilbert was 180mph\888mb but I think that was also Carribean.

 

[Smokedevil]

It's anyone's guess on how low it goes. It's still dropping, and rapidly.
We may see 180+ winds today.

 

[Clancy]

Good LORD.

Rita has the highest winds (180) and lowest pressure (895) for Gulf. Camille had the highest winds (190) for the Gulf before they downgraded it.

 

[Blountwolf]

When Milton hits the channel turbo and the loop current, I think it's game on for breaking some records. Maybe before, IDK.

These are the kinds of things when watching that you would like to see for the sake of history, but feel guilty about wanting to see it because the end result, we know, will be horrific for many.

 

[Clancy]

Once current mission is done next recon mission will be 8 PM.

 

[Atlantic]

This is just Otis, but without the land. That's not good....

 

[JPWX]

Once current mission is done next recon mission will be 8 PM.

This is why we need unmanned drones flying in between recon flights
