Everybody's gone surfing. ;p
 
So, Hurricane Michael went through right next door to Panama City and hour or so ago.

I'm looking at a Panama City webcam a few minutes ago and the surfers are already in the water.

Too fucking funny. What a bunch of kooks ;p

Cam switches between different spots. Only surfing one of the spots.

Cat 4 with over 100 mph winds when it made landfall. That is not a mild hurricane. It was just short of a Cat 5 by a couple of mph.

It is moving pretty fast though so it won't cause as much damage as it would if it stalled. Already up by the border of Georgia.

Surfing 101, leave the water before dusk, that's when sharks are most likely to attack. This particular surfers are indeed kooks :1orglaugh

Not according to ventusky https://www.ventusky.com/?p=25.4;-89.3;5&l=wind-10m

Edit.. Looks like as soon as it hit it around 12 it sped up to 100+ and dropped down rather quickly.

the supercharged storm had maximum sustained winds of 155 mph at landfall – just two miles shy of a Category 5, the fiercest on the scale.

An hour after landfall, the storm's winds had weakened slightly to 150 mph. By 5 p.m., winds had eased to a still brutal 125 mph. Hurricanes generally lose strength over land since their source of energy (warm sea water) is gone.

The storm, however, was likely to remain intense for some time, forecasters said, even as the hurricane approached southeastern Alabama and southwest Georgia. "It's going to stay a hurricane for a while," National Hurricane Center Director Ken Graham said.

"Life threatening storm surge and catastrophic winds continue," the Hurricane Center warned,

.............................

"There doesn’t seem to be any opportunity for this storm to weaken at all, and it may strengthen," said Brett Rathbun, a meteorologist with AccuWeather.

Scott Pecoriello, with meteorological data analytics firm Weather Optics, said the storm could have "possibly" approached Category 5 strength based on rotational features at the storm's center. "A sign of extreme winds and further intensification. Sustained winds of 145 mph will destroy anything in its path," he tweeted.

Even though the storm felt slightly short of a Cat 5, soon after landfall, the power of Michael was evident: Rain blew sideways and wind gusts roared, snapping trees, shredding rooftops and sending debris flying. Early photos out of Mexico Beach, Florida, near where the storm made landfall, showed submerged houses and a pulverized community.

.................................................. .

Michael's barometric pressure at landfall was 919 millibars – making it the third-strongest hurricane to hit the U.S. on record, trailing only the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane and Hurricane Camille in 1969.

Wunderground has it at 115mph at 5:00pm.

Not sure why the difference between that and VentuSky.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT SHARKS WHILE SURFING

You should keep these precautions in mind with sharks while surfing.

1. Stay out of the Water at Dusk and Dawn
Experienced surfers may have no fear of sharks, however, if you are first-time surfer, or new to surfing and looking to avoid a shark encounter, it is best to stay out of water at dusk and dawn, as these are the two primary feeding times for sharks. So if you want to minimize your chances of encountering a shark, avoid a shark's breakfast or dinnertime.

It was 155 earlier category 4

It’s getting bad down there. At 1:30 p.m. ET / 12:30 p.m. CT, Hurricane Michael has made landfall near Mexico Beach, Fla as a Category 4 hurricane with max wind speeds of 155 mph, and moving north northeast at 14 mph.

A Cat 5 hurricane has 156 mph winds…

that's as good as it gets there! that's the only session that guy will get all year.

If you click on ventu link it lands on 5pm Central.. Winds are max 50mph. Ventusky is THE shit.. Bookmark it.

Did dawn patrol as often as possible too. Get in there before it becomes a zoo. We used the porpoises of our sign it was safe. If the Porpoises were around then the sharks usually stayed away.

Had many encounters with sharks across the years, none that turned out badly.

I know about VentuSky. I have used it many times. Thanks though.

This is the National Hurricane Center bulletin from 4:00 CST

Hurricane Michael Discussion Number 17
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL142018
400 PM CDT Wed Oct 10 2018

Data from an Air Force Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft and
NWS WSR-88D radar data showed that Michael continued to strengthen
until it made landfall around 1730 UTC (12:30 PM CDT) along the
coast of the Florida Panhandle between Mexico Beach and Tyndall Air
Force Base. The aircraft found peak 700-mb flight-level winds of
152 kt during its final pass through southeast eyewall just before
Michael made landfall. There were SFMR measurements of 132-138 kt,
but the validity of those observations are questionable since they
occurred in shallow water and were flagged. The landfall intensity
was estimated at 135 kt (155 mph), which makes Michael the strongest
hurricane to make landfall in the continental U.S. since Andrew
(1992). The minimum pressure at landfall was estimated at 919 mb,
which is the third lowest landfall pressure in the United States. A
University of Florida/Weatherflow observing site measured a minimum
pressure of 920.2 mb.

Now that the entire eyewall has moved over land, the Doppler radar
velocities have decreased and the initial intensity has been lowered
to 110 kt. Although steady weakening is expected as Michael moves
over the southeast U.S. through Thursday morning, hurricane-force
winds will continue to penetrate inland over the Florida Panhandle,
southeastern Alabama, and southwestern Georgia through this evening.
The circulation is forecast to emerge over the western Atlantic
Thursday night and Friday, where intensification as an extratropical
cyclone is expected. The extratropical low is expected to remain
quite strong while to moves over the north Atlantic through the
weekend. The low is expected to be absorbed by another low pressure
area over the eastern Atlantic by day 5.

Why do wind speeds on Ventusky differ from values on other websites?

Differences may be down to several causes. You must always compare identical data. On our website we display wind gusts and average wind speed. Nevertheless, average wind speed may be computed for a period of 1 minute, or 10 minutes. Models operated by NOAA (GFS, HRRR) use 1-minute average. The remaining models (ICON, GEM) use 10-minute average. This may cause differences between individual models and values being compared from other websites. Differences manifest mainly in the case of tropical cyclones, where a 1-minute average value is markedly higher than a 10-minute average value of wind speed. Differences may also occur owing to the fact that we display data from numerical models that may not include all the data that have been measured (if, for example, a private station on a Caribbean island measures an average wind speed over 200 km/h during a hurricane, such data will not enter the models displayed by us as the models only utilise a professional network of stations, which is sparse in some areas).
