This thing is incredible. Wow
This level of energy is incredibly hard to maintain that’s the good nees, bad news the surface level (ocean/surge) intensity is going to remain even if the projected shear weakens the wind speeds. It’s going to be a monster making landfall
Hoo-wee! Time to batten down the hatches.
Levi Cowan’s “Tropical Tidbits” is a fantastic informational source for understanding hurricane behavior. I highly recommend watching his analysis of Milton.
