[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The longer it takes to make landfall the better as it avoids the hightide of 2p and the stronger the odds are the cold front/shear impacts the hurricane to diminish its strength. The more north it hits, the better for Tampa and the more southern, the more surge for them. I don't know that it really matters where it hits however in that there will definitely be a surge there and the N is where Helene had made more impact so for them it's a bit more sad it's 2x hurricane. I have a feeling it will not be as bad I don't know why. I've had a feeling since yesterday that the shear and cold front will quickly diminish this from a cat 4 to a 2 or even 1 because shear completely destroys the rotating force of a hurricane. It doesn't wipe out surge but the lowering of the winds will do a lot to help things. I just get a feeling that it won't be as bad as everyone thinks it will be and I also have a feeling that Tampa will get lucky again in not being hit directly by this. I just think that it peaked last night as a cat 5 with 899. The rest of the way up it will meet a lot of factors that isn't helping it maintain/grow.[/quote] Phew! Cancel the evacuation, everyone! No need to take any precautions, anonymous PP has a feeling! Idiot. [/quote] I mean, PP may be correct, meteorologists aren't really saying these possibilities out loud because they want everyone to get out of there in case worst case scenario DOES materialize. It's better to prep for the worst case and be grateful if it ends up not being as bad, but people are stupid. Tampa has had a lot of near misses and it takes effort to get some residents to evacuate if they've managed fine thorugh previous storms.[/quote]
