The *NEW* Good Morning Thread!
John - If they get us much rainfall/water as expected - I can't imagine I-4 will be passable for at least one week. That one area is so unbelievably low it's always flooding but this could cripple/buckle that I-4 piece. Thoughts?
Yes, that pattern is quite puzzling at first glance when you look at what she left natural tone veneer vs. what see decided to paint. I do think it was very ingenious on her part and makes the piece very unique.
EDIT: Or, what might soon become a new Milton Fields (the second) in Florida if folks don't get the hell out - natural, organic.
It's the Clearwater, St Pete 275 bridge that will probably be undermined by water action and be gone in large sections that I am concerned about.
Best I can figure out the CO website is a CO developers live "playground". A website used to "test" newly developed/written code. Hey, they're likely not going to admit it & that's fine. Look, this site is a freebie all members. I have no knowledge of the training &/or technical knowledge of their web developers. But this 5 second pause/timeout when clicking 'New Posts' is annoying lots of members. It is NOT an issue on other IB sites. Ford-Truck Enthusiasts works flawlessly. CO website is at the bottom of the food chain - let's face it. Now they're testing a new GUI on CO. Could be some time before these these little pieces get worked out. You'd truly think they had a more carefully replicated "test" environment for their developers to work - apparently they do not.
Agree, I think it will remain passable to the I-75 Interchange inland side of Tampa Bay. IIRC, I believe it's a stretch of I-40 about 10 miles or so West of Polk City which is very low and does in fact flood with some frequency during heavy rains. That area could be an entire washout. Just saying.
I knew a couple people who lived in New Smyrna mostly from attending yearly Daytona Beach motorcycle event & the folks I knew were all vintage Indian motorcycle folks e.g. Doc Batsleer.
This is a 96 hr loop - takes ~20 seconds to load. Great video of the latest eye wall regeneration. Pressure increased when the eye wall fell apart (normal) and pressure has been decreasing again as the new eye wall formed (normal) - pressure now 912mb.

Do you have a computer model to verify that?
I would expect the heat and shock waves of a thermonuclear detonation would have some disruptive effects on the local weather patterns, but as it has never been performed there’s no meteorological records to go by. Computer modeling would be the only way to predict the effects.

It was brought up by someone, somewhere decades ago. NASA & several nuke physicists modeled it I think? I think NASA has an official statement regarding this "notion". It re-surface (again) when someone mentioned it several years ago. I guess it was 1st proposed to Harry Truman (1945) by the Mayor of Miami, FL as a way to weaken hurricanes. So, the 'notion' has been around some time.
Without diving into additional research (it's late) I found only one NASA statement before calling it a night:
SOURCE: NASA Hurricane Research Division
Radioactive fallout from such an operation would far outweigh the benefits and may not alter the storm. Additionally, the amount of energy that a storm produces far outweighs the energy produced by one nuclear weapon.
All vulnerable aircraft @ USSOCOM (MacDill AFB) have been & are currently being evacuated elsewhere. Obviously, Naval, Reserve & CG operations centers have evacuated ships elsewhere.
I read it's estimated each mile of civilian evacuation alone costs ~$1 million dollars. I don't know the cost of a Hurricane Hunter flight - but I'm sure it's significant. The costs to evacuate military operations personnel & equipment ain't cheap. A single Dropsonde dropped from an aircraft costs ~$1,000. Those things are cool. They're released like a falling turd from the *** end of the aircraft. They're about 1.5' in length. Costs of the evacuation alone are crazy add the costs of the damage & repair this will be a whopping hurt in the public coffers.
