So? I didn't record the video. I've been posting these "hurricane re-runs" all day.

Oh oh. The description below the video is the filmer's quote, I didn't write it. The actual youtube video is here.

(((Aqua)))Hey girl. Your not old!
I am just lurking for a few. We had a nice storm here today. I love the rain.
I feel like the tropics will heat up soon. I hope everyone is ready. I am glad for the quiet time right now.

Awesome video! Enjoy!

Hurricane Andrew - Southeast Florida - August 24, 1992



This is my Hurricane Andrew chase video. The footage was taken during Andrew's landfall on the Southeast Florida coast, at Coconut Grove, south of Miami. Though Andrew was extremely small, moving very quickly and made landfall about 15 miles to the south, my location was right at the edge of the hurricane's northern eyewall. Unfortunately the entire peak of the storm was at night, however, using a portable spotlight, I was able to capture footage throughout the entire event. Even with the challenging video conditions, Andrew's ferocity is clearly obvious in this footage. The roar of the wind is deafening, punctuated by breaking glass and other debris. Peak winds occur between 13 through 17 minutes into the video, and are sustained near 125-130mph with gusts near 150mph. The anemometer at the National Hurricane Center (about 2 miles west-southwest of my location) failed after recording a gust to 164mph. Based on post-analysis, Andrew is now estimated to have had sustained winds of 165mph with peak gusts near 200mph at landfall in South Florida, making it one of only three Category Five hurricanes ever to strike the United States.

13 eh? LMAO

You should modify that post and explain it isn't yours or the questioning will continue :P

Quoting CybrTeddy:


Yea, I've had that blogger on ignore for a while. Tried reasoning with 'em, didn't work. Evidently, you need 6 named storms in July for a season to be remotely active to some people. Category 2 Landfall isn't good enough for them.

WHAT BLOGGER!!!!!

Too many people are being accused of being JFV. Everytime a new blogger comes here, someone asks: "Are you JFV?"

I would say I'm a proud Fishcaster, who wouldn't want the storm to go out to sea?

SAL was much less at 06:00 UTC rather than now. Instead of looking at SAL graphs look at MIMIC-TPW.

the funny thing is that according to Wikipedia, modern-day Mayans think all this is a bunch of hullabaloo...

we also have the

Good evening!

Good evening Storm!

Oh I also forgot the Postcaster------- one who never gets a forecast wrong simply because they never post it and tell everyone that they did and where right all along...

Evening Storm!

TDcaster--those that think invests were actually TD's and the NHC had it all wrong...

well ok MH09 let use that MIMIC-TPW

if you look on the last few frames you will see that just off the coast there is a strong moisture spike right there

Didn't realize they had that many videos out on You tube of Andrew.

What strikes me the most is I remember all of that - but at the same time I don't. The first film where they are going down US1 and showing Berry's, and the plane - my office is about 3/4 mile west from there. We lived that day in and day out for a long time. But now its just a memory.

From the 8:05 PM EDT discussion on the tropical wave just off the African coast.

TROPICAL WAVE HAS MOVED OFF W AFRICA ALONG 17W/18W S OF 17N
MOVING W 10-15 KT. BROAD MID LEVEL CYCLONIC ROTATION IS OBSERVED
ALONG THE WAVE AXIS NEAR 11N ON SATELLITE IMAGERY. WAVE IS
EMBEDDED WITHIN A MOISTURE MAXIMUM AS INDICATED ON THE TOTAL

IS FROM 12N-15N E OF 19W TO INLAND OVER W AFRICA.
