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.

Brevard County Sheriffs Office (BCSO) reporting a significant tornado just hit Cocoa Beach. One of the deputies said it's "at least an EF-2." Many businesses damaged as well as homes.

If you want to look it up on Google Maps, search 1775 N. Atlantic Avenue, Cocoa Beach. That's the Wells Fargo that lost its roof. The tornado started at the Resorts at Cocoa Beach and moved northwest. Many homes damaged on St. Croix Ave. behind the Publix.

Good morning from the #SpaceCoast of #Florida.

We're still here. Other than the Cocoa Beach tornado, I haven't heard of any significant damage in our area. The eyewall just passed through here so we're experiencing peak gusts.

Frame capture from #News13 yesterday evening reporting on the Cocoa Beach tornado. Had it continued, it would have gone right over our house in north Merritt Island. As it was, we still had a strong cell pass through, just no damage for us.
