From Noah Bergren on Zombie Twitter:

*****

8PM EDT: I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 225 MPH. This is now the 2nd strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere can produce. Yes, there is a mathematical limit and we are nearing that.

The Weather.com ten-day forecast for north Merritt Island ... The wind forecast took a big leap overnight, now looking at 41 MPH sustained winds on Thursday.

I found this on the 45th weather squadron's website. It suggests we'll have 34 knot (40 mph) winds but not much more.

We're going to have lots of rain, but 40 mph winds is quite survivable.

We have two launches scheduled for this week. Both the civilian and military spaceports rely on the 45th weather squadron for forecasts.

If you want a peek behind the scenes, here are two useful links:

The home page for the 45th weather squadron: patrick.spaceforce.mil/About-U

The hurricane page for the squadron: patrick.spaceforce.mil/Hurrica

Right now they're at HURCON 5, meaning, "Something wicked this way comes." πŸŒ€

This has me feeling a bit better about our chances here in Brevard County. The color code suggests a 50%-60% chance of 40+ MPH sustained winds.

The ten-day forecast has 28 MPH sustained winds for us on Wednesday-Thursday.

Combine the two, and it suggests we should have winds that are annoying but not threatening.

But we'll see how the day goes.

Not so good for the Gulf side.

FYI Elon Musk showed up today at the rally in Butler PA. In case you're looking for any more reason to be paranoid about Zombie Twitter.
