Hello Sis, so glad y'all evacuated! Looks like this is a very bad storm. Praying for all of you.

I'm from central Florida, so I know well what you are going through.

Thanks! Hey Maw Maw, hope all is well with you and your family. Appreciate the prayers. Not worried about things, they can be replaced. Our oldest, however, is still in the path of the hurricane. I'm concerned she may have missed her opportunity to leave.

Yes, amen, things can be replaced! Have you heard from your oldest child yet? Continuing in prayer....from the pictures and video I've seen, it looks devastating.

According to global wind map (a collaboration by several weather agencies) top surface wind speed is currently around 35 mph.

Drudge is reporting (based on NOAA and Weather Underground data) that it landed with 155 mph sustained winds. I don't believe it one bit.

NOAA and US weather agencies keep hyping up these storms because fake news and muh global warming carbon tax propaganda. It's irresponsible and is going to get people killed.

Has anyone actually there reported Hurricane Camille level devastation? Entire towns should be wiped flat off the map from 155+ mph sustained winds.

They did the same thing with the last hurricane, where NOAA takes wind speeds thousands of feet above surface and then reports that as the sustained winds. Nobody cares about windspeed at 1 or 2 kilometers above surface except airplanes. What matters is surface windspeed.

The windmap reports windspeed in km/ph which means you take the reading and multiply by .62 to get mph. Make sure you are looking at SURFACE windspeed not 12000 ft in the air.

Prayers for the region.

Luke 21:25
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Has the methodolgy the use for measuring wind speed changed?

I'm sure that if this hurricane's power is misrepresented we'll see a flood of videos, counter testimonies, and outcry against the media.

So far, the videos I've seen and first hand accounts that I've read show that this thing was no joke.
